In a tale of identities as divergent as "The Prince and the Pauper," a well-known cancer-causing gene also influences cells in a zombie-like state meant to prevent cancer. Scientists at Sanford ...

A biomimetic nanoreactor coated with senescent stem cell membranes delivers nitric oxide and magnesium while scavenging reactive oxygen species, reversing a vicious cycle of cellular aging and ...

The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The research findings, published in Nature, have implications for ...

Researchers report that adding interleukin-18 to cultures of scarce human Vδ1 T cells boosts their expansion, survival and ...

Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive—particularly for egg-laying species ...

A research team has developed an anticancer treatment platform that simultaneously targets cancer cells and the surrounding ...

Five years ago, scientists watched in wonder as synthetic bacteria grew and split into daughter cells. The bacteria’s extremely stripped-down genome still supported its entire life cycle. It was a ...
