Microscopic images of human tissue are a cornerstone of biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. Yet despite their importance, these images often remain difficult to analyze systematically and to ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden “sugar code” on the surface of human cells that could transform how diseases are detected.

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells—and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research ...

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don’t reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a ...

Scientists have discovered that smoking changes human lungs in a way that may make breathing physically harder over time. A ...

The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...
