Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

Now, in a study published March 30 in Cell Chemical Biology, UB scientists have shed light on one such stressor, showing that ...

Researchers at Umeå University have contributed new insights into how cancer cells protect themselves from cell death. The ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the ...

The cerebellum is instrumental in coordinating movement and refining motor control through intricate neuronal circuitry, with Purkinje cells serving as the central integrators of sensory inputs and ...

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 capacity of intestinal stem cells to maintain cellular balance in the gut decreases upon aging. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism of action between the nutrient adaptation of intestinal ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

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

Senescent cells, which emerge after tissue injury, create an aged-like inflamed microenvironment that is negative for stem cell function and tissue repair. The finding provides a basis for mitigating ...

Once viewed only as power generators, mitochondria are now understood to play a role in mental illness. Their ability to ...
