The membrane-bound organelle appears to play a huge role in helping cells sort, discard, and recycle their contents. It's ...

Imagine you open up the hood of your car and take a look inside. You see an engine, the battery, various fluid reservoirs; all the normal stuff… and then it catches your eye. An extra component, never ...

"Our research shows that the human visual system has evolved to detect faint contrasts with extreme precision, which has apparently been more important than detecting individual light particles ...

A new structure in human cells has been discovered. The structure is a new type of protein complex that the cell uses to attach to its surroundings and proves to play a key part in cell division.

The Visual Guide to Human Cells is a fascinating resource that provides a detailed overview of cell structure and organelles throughout the cell cycle and is well worth a visit for the images alone.

“This research is a major step forward in visual neuroscience, providing new insight into how the human visual system functions under extreme conditions in darkness. Our study shows that the ...

The researchers cultivated human stem cell-derived neurons in the lab for around 80 days before grafting them into the brains of adult rats that had sustained injuries to their visual cortex.

T here is no simple fix for injuries in the brain: You can’t just slap on some gauze or stick it in a splint. But scientists are working towards new treatment methods for brain damage, and last week ...
