When tissue is severely damaged, surviving cells can respond in a concentrated burst of biological repair known as ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

KAIST researchers have developed a way to reprogram immune cells already inside tumors into cancer-killing machines. A drug ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...

Over the past year, most of your body has replaced itself cell by cell. What can we learn from other animals’ dramatic feats ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

Humans aren't the only biological systems capable of breaking generational cycles: The cells that make us are, too. New research shows that cells detect when their parent had difficulty dividing and ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...
