The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells communicate with one another during this process through cell-surface ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

New research by Sumeda Nandadasa, Ph.D., reveals how a key protein associated with Meckel-Gruber syndrome, nephronophthisis, ...

Death and life have been considered for millennia as complete opposites, a binary switch with permanent reversal. But ...

The process of necrosis, a form of cell death, may represent one of the most promising ways to change the course of human aging, disease and even space travel, according to a new study from ...

In the study, published in Oncogene, a world-leading international team of scientists and clinicians explore the potential of necrosis – when cells die unexpectedly as a result of infection, injury or ...

Two major reasons why chemotherapy and immunotherapy have limited efficacy in treating gliomas are the blood-brain barrier and the dense, solid structure of the glioma. Pulsed electric fields have ...

When we try to make the muscles thicker and therefore more powerful, cells buried deeper in those thicker structures are cut off from nutrients and oxygen, so they die, undergoing necrosis.
