In a first, scientists have designed immune cells that protect stem cell transplants from being rejected by the body — and they could someday open the door for a cure for diabetes. The new cells, ...

Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without renewal. A trait echoed within the cells' components, some enduring as long as the organism itself. Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

A tiny elephant establishes a new stomping ground for 3-D printing: inside cells. For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
