A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Scientists have now created an encyclopedia of gene function for all known human genes that code for protein. This data uses the most current and reliable data, and it has also been released on a ...

Understanding the human cell is vital to progress in the life sciences and to human health. Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life responsible for all of life’s processes. A typical human ...

T cells are essential components of the immune system and play critical roles in immune responses against infections, tumors, and autoimmune diseases. T cells are highly heterogeneous, with distinct ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

Human pluripotent stem-cells (HPSCs)—including human embryonic stem-cells and human induced pluripotent stem-cells—are reshaping the landscape of regenerative medicine.1,2 In Parkinson's disease, ...

Mitochondrial diseases are severe, often untreatable, and they leave human cells unable to grow normally without outside help. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that a single gene ...
