Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...
When thinking of the immune system, most people imagine white blood cells putting up a fight against invading germs in the ...
Natural killer cells, also referred to as NK cells, play several major roles in the body's defense against cancers like renal cell carcinoma. Natural killer cells, also referred to as NK cells, play ...
Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells can also migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This harmonious movement of cells occurs during embryonic development, wound ...
A new understanding of retinal cell development may help pave the way for future retina transplants, which could restore ...
NASA scientists are sending three fundamental life science experiments onboard space shuttle Discovery in hopes of better understanding exactly how spaceflight affects cell growth and how cells fight ...
If you've heard deep bass, the roar of a jet engine, or rumbling thunder, you may have felt it in your body. Our cells have a variety of ways to sense mechanical forces, including those that can be ...
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...
The biological cycle of our existence seems relatively straightforward: we’re born, we live, we die. The end. But when you examine existence at the cellular level, things get a bit more interesting.
Like the people they make up, cells communicate by bumping into one another and exchanging handshakes. Unlike people, cells perform these handshakes using the diverse range of sugar molecules coating ...
Article reviewed by Julía Crispim da Fontoura, a PhD candidate at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre, Brazil who uses organoids to study drug resistance. Stay up to date on the ...
