A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable ...

There are three main types of ovarian cancer: epithelial, germ cell, and stromal. Learn about each type’s defining ...

There is a trial of strength at the cellular level. Cells are in constant competition with each other and so eliminate ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Not only does our body change with age, but so does our immune system. A recent study led by the Center for Individualized Infection Medicine (CiiM) shows exactly how immune cells age and how ...

OXB honoured at 2025 CDMO Leadership Awards in 'Cell & Gene Therapy – Global' category Oxford, UK – 21 March 2025: OXB (LSE: ...

Scientists found that aggressive lung cancer cells create their own electrical network, helping them spread. This unique ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

Cells are in constant competition with each other and so eliminate diseased or unwanted cells. Cell competition is therefore a central principle for maintaining the health of tissues and organs.
