Scientists discover how aging alters the function of cells, called mesenchymal drift, and manage to reverse this process.

For decades, aging has looked like a one-way street, a slow accumulation of damage written into our cells. Now a wave of ...

The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

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 ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Millions of people live with atrial fibrillation, a racing, uneven heartbeat that can leave you exhausted and scared. Yet it ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...
