Researchers from the global Human Cell Atlas Consortium are taking the first steps towards using powerful single-cell genome analysis tools to understand early human development and how this can ...

All of us began as a single cell, the fertilized egg. This cell gave rise to a group of "stem cells" that can transform into any cell type in our body to create our complex tissues consisting of ...

Researchers with the global Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium report significant progress in their quest for a better understanding of the cells of the human body in health and disease, with the ...

Researchers have identified a variant in the gene TBX1 as key in the development of the unique morphology at the base of the skull. TBX1 is present at higher levels in humans than in closely related ...

The role of the human yolk sac in supporting early embryonic development and the first wave of the prenatal immune system has been mapped in a study published today (17 August) in Science. Researchers ...

The new platform's ethically grounded approach promises to reveal much about how human embryos form during the earliest stages of pregnancy. It's one of life's most defining moments -- that crucial ...

Human-machine understanding (HMU) represents the next frontier in human-centric technology. By integrating insights from human behavioural data, cognitive science and psychology with artificial ...
