Microplastics are everywhere. Crossing ecosystems and human tissues, research continues into their detection, behavior, and ...

Researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of Delaware have uncovered what could be a biological “instruction manual” for how ...

The human body undergoes a daily replacement of billions of cells, but the tissues remain flawlessly organized. How can that be?

Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly simple “tissue code”: five rules that choreograph when, where, and how cells divide, ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells—and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible?

Scientists at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of Delaware have discovered a surprisingly simple explanation for how our bodies stay so ...

Nanoplastics are typically defined as plastic particles smaller than 1000 nanometers. These particles are increasingly being detected in human tissues: they can bypass biological barriers, accumulate ...

A type of MRI may cause certain metal nanoparticles to form in the body. Experts explain why MRIs with contrast may lead to this, and the safety of MRIs.

Opinion Ethically sourced “spare” human bodies could revolutionize medicine Human “bodyoids” could reduce animal testing, improve drug development, and alleviate organ shortages.

Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.

Metadata analysis indicates microplastics in the human body damage tissues and are connected with various health conditions.

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.
