For the first time, scientists have built a detailed, interactive map of a human cell, revealing how thousands of proteins ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many ...

An "unprecedented view" of how the body changes during and after pregnancy has revealed many long-lasting impacts on the ...

Professor Kenji Osafune (Department of Cell Growth and Differentiation) and his team of researchers have devised an effective ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

Renal hypoplasia, defined as abnormally small kidneys with normal morphology and reduced nephron number ... mechanisms by which these genes function in both normal and abnormal kidney development.

No longer considered functionless, the “rediscovered” rete ovarii may be crucial for understanding “unexplainable” infertility and ovarian disorders.

These functions can be related to specific 'units' in each nephron that are formed in a tightly controlled manner during development. Figure 1: Overview of the various steps of kidney formation ...

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...

UC San Diego and Stanford University researchers have created a comprehensive map of the human U2OS cell. The map revealed ...

Yet the health system needs to function better. Through decades of ... Tackling that problem will require all parts of the system and policymakers to come together. Yet there are participants ...
