Automated cell counting in body fluids is revolutionising diagnostic pathways by replacing traditional manual methods with robust, high-throughput platforms. This approach enhances accuracy and ...

As a fetus develops, its body is bathed in amniotic fluid: a warm, salty soup of nutrients, hormones, and antibodies produced by its mother. And into that fluid, a fetus is constantly sloughing off or ...

In the last decade or so, organoids have taken the scientific world by storm. From mini-brains to hearts and even boobs, these miniature, simplified versions of human body parts are expanding our ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

Based on cells’ ability to respond to physical stimuli, a team of researchers hypothesized that extracellular fluid viscosity (which varies under physiological and pathological conditions, such as ...

In living organisms, cells are constantly sending and receiving signals. The most common form of communication is through chemical signals, such as hormones. In many body fluids, cells use ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A similar cell shape also ...
