Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both ...

For human health, prematurely aging cells are a big problem. When a cell ages and stops growing, its function changes, which can cause or worsen cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and other ...

Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery could change how we understand Alzheimer's disease.

NYU scientists have discovered that cancer cells work together to withstand challenging conditions, revealing new ...

The body's cells respond to stress-toxins, mutations, starvation or other assaults-by pausing normal functions to focus on conserving energy, repairing damaged components and boosting defenses.

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.

T cells are white blood cells that are important for adaptive immunity. They have unique cell surface receptors that are generated by randomly assorting genes. These receptors allow T cells to ...

What Is B-Cell Lymphoma? B-cell lymphoma is a cancer that forms in your white blood cells called lymphocytes. These cells are made by your lymphatic system, which plays an important role in immunity.

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye ...
