Although scientists said larger clinical trials will be needed, the early results point to a 50-50 chance that this treatment ...

The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not ...

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 ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

TB is a result of complex interplay between M.tb and human immune cells. While current research can explain why TB manifests ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

The body you inhabit is made up of lots of moving parts that need to communicate with each ... This chip was coated with a ...
