Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

In the battle against type 1 diabetes (T1D), one researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is leading a ...

Inside every human cell, a quiet surveillance network is constantly scanning for trouble, sounding molecular alarms long before damage becomes visible. Scientists are now mapping this internal warning ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) derived from a patient's own cells have garnered significant attention as a new alternative for treating intractable intestinal diseases due to their low risk of rejection ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new colonies within the body. Blocking the cells’ ability to ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...
