The average lifespan of a red blood cell is just under four months, while skin cells last about a month and those in the ...

Despite its small size—it could sit in the palm of your hand—the zebra finch is a remarkable learner. A songbird native to ...

Why don't humans grow new brain cells? A new study shows "tunneling" neurons in songbirds may explain our limited capacity for neurogenesis.

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.

Researchers created a human spinal cord organoid, injured it, then applied an experimental therapy. What happened next was ...

Using brain organoids, researchers showed that specific genetic mutations in Rett syndrome cause distinct brain network ...

Drug development is aiming to move from managing disease to correcting it through RNA and gene-editing therapies. But ...

But delivering these treatments safely and precisely to the right cells remains a major hurdle—especially in hard-to-target organs like the brain and kidneys. Now, researchers led by a University of ...

Astonishingly, scientists in Siberia revived microscopic rotifers from permafrost, dormant for nearly 24,000 years. These ...

Researchers at Boston University have discovered a surprising mechanism in the brains of zebra ...

A new analysis of individual brain cells across several human brain regions reveals subtle but widespread differences in gene activity between male and female brains. This may help explain why some ...
