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

When tissue is severely damaged, surviving cells can respond in a concentrated burst of biological repair known as ...

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

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

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

When a T cell encounters a cell carrying pieces of a virus or bacteria, the two form a tight contact point known as an immune ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed experimental compounds that make cells burn more calories by subtly tweaking how mitochondria ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

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 ...

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 ...
