One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

Given the right conditions, certain types of cells are able to self-assemble into new lifeforms after the organism they were once part of has died. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Long before a liver tumor appears, a high-fat diet can push liver cells into a risky survival mode. That is the central ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at the GIMM Foundation has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...
