Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

The human body contains around 36 trillion to 37 trillion cells, and researchers are mapping out where every one of those cells lives. Scientists with the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), an international ...

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle damage—often caused by drug intake—can lead to impaired kidney function and ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have developed a groundbreaking biohybrid robotic hand that utilizes lab-grown human ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

A gentle rumble ran under a researcher's feet as a rocket carrying her research -- live, human muscle cells grown on scaffolds fixed on tiny chips -- lifted off, climbed, and disappeared into the sky ...

Muscles are formed by the merging of many small myoblasts into larger myofibers. This fusion of mononucleated myoblasts with a single nucleus into multinucleated myofibers with multiple nuclei is an ...
