“For many cell-based therapies, progress comes from connecting the right pieces at the right moment,” Klein said. “When ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

This past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to believe what can fit in a year. Yet as we say goodbye to 2025, we want to take ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

Spatial proteomics is the study of the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular function, making spatial ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...

The brain is shielded from many substances by the blood-brain barrier, but this shield is not impenetrable. There are immune cells in the brain called microglia that can respond to potential invaders ...

If you've heard deep bass, the roar of a jet engine, or rumbling thunder, you may have felt it in your body. Our cells have a variety of ways to sense mechanical forces, including those that can be ...
