Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins. Researchers at KAIST have discovered a new phenomenon: Removing "circular ...

Cancer drugs like cisplatin are designed to attack tumor cells, but new research shows these therapies can concentrate inside ...

A bandage-like microneedle patch can noninvasively collect immune cells and signals from the skin within minutes to hours.

Plant immunity is largely initiated at the cellular level, with each cell capable of autonomous detection and response, while ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that regulatory T (Treg) cells, a type of white blood cell, exist as a single large population of cells that constantly move throughout the ...

A well-fitted ‘disguise’ allows transplanted mitochondria to slip into cells whose own mitochondria are defective, scientists reported 18 March in Cell 1. Administration of these cloaked mitochondria ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

Human cells can possibly sense far beyond surfaces they touch, with cancer cells being able to probe about 10 microns ahead, ...

A team of scientists from The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute and Case Western Reserve University has created the largest reported collection of stem cell models from multiple ...

Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a new study shows. While chemotherapies successfully treat cancers and extend ...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players ...

New experimental results have cast doubt on earlier proposals suggesting that spherical, cell-like membranes could form in ...
