University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

A new organelle has been found by scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA). The super-small specialized structure has a ...

The Human Cell Atlas project, which aims to define all the cells in the human body based on the molecules they make, could transform biology and medicine.

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

The hugely ambitious project of mapping the estimated 37.2 trillion cells of the human body is close to reaching a historic milestone – the first draft of the 'atlas.' We got a glimpse at what's ...

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.

The Human Cell Atlas has received less attention than the $3 billion Human Genome Project, which was completed in 2003 after 15 years of work. But it's equally ambitious.

The Human Cell Atlas project maps human cells to understand biology, address global health disparities, and advance personalized medicine through ethical and inclusive research practices.

Human Biology labs are researching how cells, pathogens and genetics affect the way diseases spread, mutate, replicate and survive. We’re also discovering how to fight these diseases at a molecular ...

Human biology is the study of all aspects of the human organism including evolution, genetics, ecology, anatomy and physiology, development, anthropology, and nutrition, among others.. A deep ...

Regev compared scientific knowledge of cell biology before the Human Cell Atlas initiative with a “15 th century map.” “Now, years later, the resolution of the map is a lot higher,” she said.
