The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and ...
This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...
A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really ...
From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.
While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...
A recent study published in Cell Death & Disease suggests that specific cellular abnormalities in the brain associated with ...
In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...
The study, “Integration of phospho-signaling and transcriptomics in single cells reveals distinct Th17 cell fates,” was published in Cell Reports. In the study, first author Seth Fortmann, M.D., Ph.D.
When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...
UC San Diego and Scripps Research scientists used a novel method to show that some memory neurons produce proteins at higher rates than others. A new method lets researchers visualize messenger RNA ...
Abstract: A mixed-order divergence-conforming method for pyramidal cells is presented for use with a locally corrected Nyström discretization of a volume integral equation. The function space is ...
