This mandala combines visualizations of cell types in the mouse brain. (Illustration via Allen Institute) Neuroscientists have unveiled their most comprehensive and detailed map of cell types across ...

As we go about our day, the trillions of cells in our bodies run like well-oiled machines: continually sensing what's happening around them and making modifications to keep us humming along. Like ...

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 ...

For the first time ever, an international team of researchers has created a complete cell atlas of a whole mammalian brain. This atlas serves as a map for the mouse brain, describing the type, ...

A comprehensive map has been built of cell types in a mammalian brain using spatial and single-cell genomics. The atlas delineates several thousand cell populations across the entire mouse brain, ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have advanced DNA-PAINT microscopy to visualize up to 12 biomolecules inside a cancer cell nucleus at resolutions as fine as 3–5 nanometers. The ...

An estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain govern our body’s functions and conjure — somehow — the human mind. C. elegans has 302 neurons in one sex and a few more in the other.
