A gastrointestinal oncologist told Newsweek that the early-stage findings are a “major step forward” in targeting colon ...

An unexpectedly versatile and regenerative stem cell in early embryos may be key to creating new effective fertility treatments, suggests a new study in mice from the University of Copenhagen. It ...

Stable isotope-tracing assays track few metabolites, yet cells use many nutrients to sustain nitrogen metabolism. Here we create a platform for tracing 30 nitrogen isotope-labelled metabolites in ...

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 ...

Researchers succeeded in creating cells whose proliferation can be controlled. The technique enables new and safe cell therapies. Cell therapies could help in the treatment of hereditary diseases, ...

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the ...

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells support a lifetime supply of blood and immune cells and constitute a powerful cell therapy platform for hematologic diseases. In this study, we define ...

Biologists discovered that mitochondria in different tissues talk to each other to repair injured cells. When their signal fails, the biological clock starts winding down. Aging can seem like an ...
