Scientists mapped where drugs bind inside the body, cell by cell, to better understand benefits and side effects.

When you take a drug, where in your body does it actually go? For most medications, scientists can make only educated guesses ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body's estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers examined the relationship between cell size and count across the human body, establishing a quantitative framework and uncovering ...

As the body ages, organ function progressively declines and the risk for a wide range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, increases. Understanding how ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells behave like egg cells—a technique that could change the course of the future of ...

What makes someone a "morning lark" or a "night owl?" Why does jet lag hit us so hard, and why do some people struggle each ...

A New York University study has found that kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells. According to the study authors, their findings could help researchers better ...

Organisms are composed of cells, some of which are constantly replaced, while others stay in place for a long time. For many years, scientists studied cell biology and tissue function by analyzing the ...

In a person living with HIV, proviruses—strands of HIV DNA—are typically integrated into the T cell genome and become a ...
