Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

One of the ultimate goals of biological research is to understand the multiscale organization of the human cell and its relationship to biological function and human disease. As much of cell structure ...
