Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

We all carry cells from other individuals within us. This discovery, which affects all species with a placenta, is called microchimerism.

Let’s say it’s 2036, and scientists are working on a new class of drugs. Today, for instance, pharmaceutical companies use ...

Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.

Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell’s survival and ...

The death of an organism does not spell the end for its cells, according to new research. Cells have been shown to continue to function even after the organism they originated from is deceased, often ...

Scientists have perfected the recipe to convert giant panda skin cells into stem cells to study the animal’s biology and aid its conservation. The journey from panda fibroblasts to iPSCs was not easy.

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

When we think of death, we imagine a final, irreversible end. But what if death is not as absolute as it seems? What if some parts of us — our cells, our tissues — continue to fight for survival, even ...
