A new study maps millions of cells across organs and shows how aging changes the body in coordinated and surprising ways.

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full maturity and preserve the health ...

Obesity leaves a lasting imprint on fat and immune cells in ways that might make weight regain harder to avoid ...

A massive cell-by-cell map of aging reveals it’s a synchronized, body-wide process—and scientists may finally know where to intervene.

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

A new study has found microplastics in nine out of 10 prostate cancer tumours as researchers discovered that these tiny particles were present in higher levels inside tumours than in nearby ...

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...
