A typical human cell is about 10 ?m across and weighs about 1 nanogram. Bacteria are single celled or unicellular whereas humans are multicellular; estimated number of cells in an adult human being is ...

Torrents of data from cell atlases, brain organoids and other methods are finally delivering answers to an age-old question.

A small protein could travel the entire length of a typical human cell in 10 to 15 minutes. But a similar trip in an egg cell would take almost a day—far too long to maintain cellular health.

Our genomes are huge – a typical human cell contains DNA with over 6 billion units of information (measured in ‘base pairs’). However, this treasure trove of information poses a challenge when it ...

Researchers identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells involved in human touch and compared them with those in mice and macaques, showing both shared and unique traits.
