A precancerous cell is a cell with certain abnormalities that makes it more likely to become cancerous. These abnormalities don't mean that it will become cancer—in fact, most don't—but the diagnosis ...

Experiments are expensive and since cells are counted by imaging and aligning a large number of brain sections, they are time-intensive. The resulting datasets tend to be under-sampled with fewer ...

A new study suggests that even single-celled organisms, like amoebae, and individual cells within the human body, might be capable of a simple form of learning called habituation. This discovery ...

Central to this belief is the fact that our brains, particularly our brain cells, store memories. However, an innovative team of researchers begs to differ, suggesting that cells in other parts of the ...

20) in several Nature journals, charts cells in many organs and organ systems — including the lungs, brain and skin — and describes the advanced computational tools needed to crunch all those ...

Moving forward, the team wants to study other types of tissue, such as in the pancreas, liver and brain, to see whether their cells also have a “memory” of obesity. They also want to explore ...

Then bone cells grow over it. This happens everywhere except for the very top of the skull to give the brain space to grow. Some of the genetic instructions involved in orchestrating this early ...

Researchers believe new findings about a form of cellular suicide gives new ideas for treating Alzheimer's Scientists in the UK and Belgium think they have figured out how brain cells die in ...

Why Trust Us? The process of memory is often tied to the brain, but a new study reveals that other cells outside our skulls contain their own kind of “body memory.” In a new study, scientists ...

Perhaps that’s no surprise given that the concept can be difficult for the brain to grasp. It takes children longer to understand and use zero than other numbers, and it takes adults longer to ...
