A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have found a way to make perovskite solar cells not only highly efficient but also remarkably stable, addressing ...

Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

Science succeeds by failure, just as surely as it works by success. We slowly come to know how the physical world works by learning that what we thought was true is all wrong. Science teaches us to ...

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 ...

Losing weight can be a lot of work, which makes it all the more frustrating when, little by little, the weight creeps back. Now, a study suggests that fat cells retain a memory or past obesity, which ...
