Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

One of the key challenges of the modern genomics era is studying the thousands of genes in a single human cell at scale. To ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers estimated that a biocomputer, using human brain cells as the basis of computing, could ...

But most cells die or make limited copies of themselves after they’re removed from the body by a doctor or a scientist. HeLa cells were the first human cells that researchers could grow and ...

Henrietta Lacks' cells are responsible for boundless biotechnological advancements in the medical world. Morgan State University and the National Great Blacks In Wax Museum are partnering to honor ...

It further asserts that Ultragenyx has "made a fortune by using Mrs Lacks's stolen cells as a factory to make its 'proprietary' gene therapy products." The case centres around the use of HeLa ...

These results were interpreted as reflecting widespread contamination of cultures by the first established human cell line HeLa. These findings were presented at the Second Decennial Review ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A similar cell shape also ...
