To this end, it is important to know if you have precancerous cells so that you can be regularly monitored, whether the cells are removed or not. The majority of cancers (roughly 85%) develop in ...

We have the capability to develop and implement protocols to measure cilia beat frequency and toxicity on small airway epithelial cells model, retinal toxicity and disease modelling on retinal ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell. The human body contains around 36 trillion to 37 trillion cells ...

For a very long time, we have been under the impression that memory and learning are solely the brain’s forte. Central to this belief is the fact that our brains, particularly our brain cells, store ...

The authors then conducted transcriptomic analysis on collecting duct epithelial cells isolated from control, PKD, and MMPP-treated PKD mice. Distinctive patterns of gene expression were identified ...

This study aimed to explore the role of fibrocartilage chondrocytes (FC) in the progression of OA and identify key biomarkers related to FC. Methods: We analyzed single-cell ribonucleic acid ...

An ambitious plan to map all 37 trillion cells in the human body is transforming understanding of how our bodies work, scientists report. The received wisdom said we were built from around 200 ...
