Researchers at Delft University of Technology have demonstrated for the first time that nano-antennas can enhance the ...

In a tale of identities as divergent as "The Prince and the Pauper," a well-known cancer-causing gene also influences cells ...

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

In a new study, Mass General Brigham researchers explore the causes of immune aging, a barrier to successful cancer ...

Researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center have identified a previously underappreciated role for tiny ...

The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not understood much about how to manipulate the mechanical side of that equation. That ...

Decoding the cardiac cellular universe: primary cell resources for dissecting heart microenvironment-driven disease ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
