An initiative partly funded by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the UK has moved further towards its goal of producing a 'human cell atlas' (HCA) to map every cell type in the human body.

A large, multi-study single-cell atlas of the human prefrontal cortex across the lifespan maps cell-type–specific gene activity to show how aging and disease reshape neural cells, highlighting ...

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) aimed to cure or prevent all diseases by the end of the century. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are giving this ambition fresh momentum, with the ...

The brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. With billions of cells that create trillions of connections to allow an individual to move, think, and remember, many of its innerworkings ...

Research led by Mount Sinai scientists within the PsychAD Consortium, a large-scale, multidisciplinary initiative launched in ...

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew in the 1966 science fiction classic "Fantastic Voyage"—one of their first ...

Every human cell wears a sugary shell. This outer coat, called the glycocalyx, is built from chains of sugar molecules that bristle outward from the cell membrane like frost on a windowpane. For ...

Human and chimpanzee genomes are more than 98% identical, and the genes themselves barely differ. The changes that make us ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute and the Arc Institute, along with their collaborators, unveiled the first body-wide single-cell atlas of two major epigenetic systems: three-dimensional genome folding ...
