Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from their environment and other cells. As cells grow and divide, each cilium ...

There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...

In the same way that ChatGPT understands human language, a new AI model developed by computational biologists captures the language of cells to accurately predict their activities. In the same way ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

STOCKHOLM, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Three U.S.-based scientists won the Nobel medicine prize on Monday for plotting how vital materials such as hormones and brain chemicals are transported within cells and ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

What researchers know of human cells is pieced together like a scrapbook full of snapshots: division here, fertilization there, with maybe a bit of differentiation in between. While scientists know ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their work on the discovery of microRNA, a molecule that governs how cells in the ...

Liposuction and plastic surgery aren’t often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors ...
