The human body is made up of trillions of cells that perform functions from skin protection to muscle movement. Cells can ...

When companies seek to grow their capabilities, such as by implementing AI or expanding their services, this might not be easily achieved by simply adding more employees to handle new tasks. New ...

A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At ...

Immunotherapy has been one of the most transformative treatments for cancer patients in recent decades, shifting the emphasis ...

Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells—and it may be far more dangerous than once believed.

Aging does not arrive all at once. It builds quietly across years, touching cells long before symptoms appear. Scientists ...

Cilia are ubiquitous on cells, playing a variety of roles, Dr. Nicastro explained. While non-motile cilia serve as sensors for chemical and mechanical signals, motile cilia rhythmically beat to propel ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

Parkinson's disease is associated with toxic clumps of the alpha-synuclein protein in the brain, which disrupt healthy cell communication. Now, a new study shows another way this protein may damage ...

Researchers have found that a deeper look at proteins and cells may help explain why prostate cancer tumors often become resistant to hormone therapy. Researchers found that looking at cell patterns ...

Cancer is a disease that causes abnormal cells to reproduce and spread to other parts of the body, which can result in tumors or damage to the immune system that may become fatal. Healthy cells follow ...

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...
