Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from their environment and other cells. As cells grow and divide, each cilium ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

For the first time in a mammal, researchers have chemically coaxed wound cells into forming new bone, joints, tendons, and ...

Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an unprecedentedly detailed view of healthy human skin, revealing cellular ...
