Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a ...

We tailored intestinal organoids to study human tuft-cell biology and validated our findings in human intestinal tissues using imaging and flow-cytometric techniques combined with single-cell RNA ...

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 ...

A N ADULT HUMAN body consists of some 37trn cells. Not so long ago, these were thought to come in 220 different types. That ...

By combining 25 datasets, researchers have created the largest cohesive cell atlas of the human gut and uncovered a new way that stomach cells may play a role in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

“This is a major milestone that marks a great leap in understanding of the human body,” said Dr Sarah Teichmann, from the ...

New advances allow scientists to study DNA, RNA, and gene activity in individual cells rather than in bulk tissue samples.

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by ...

Peyer's patches as immune hubs: Peyer’s patches in the small intestine are crucial for inducing T-cells in response to dietary antigens, forming a first line of defense against tumor formation .

Necroptosis is critical for regulating intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Butyric acid (BA), produced during intestinal ...
