Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...

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

Many of the body's processes slow down or falter as we get older, including tissue regeneration. In a new study, researchers detail a promising method to get this vital repair work back up to speed.

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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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