Recent clinical trials have shown promising results of transplanting these cells into individuals with Type 1 diabetes: ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killers", precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells. Their action relies on a specialized exchange zone called the "immune synapse", ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

Artificial neural networks built with biological cells promises massive energy savings.

DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor ...

Scientists at McGill University have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells, helping them break through the defenses tumors use to stay alive. By temporarily blocking ...

DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

Researchers identified a stem cell population that declines during aging, but anti-aging drugs may help restore their ...

A new study from Kyoto University in Japan has revealed that the blood pumping ...

Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside ...

Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside zebrafish cells, keratin plays a distinct role, giving them the strength they ...
