In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

The body's cells respond to stress-toxins, mutations, starvation or other assaults-by pausing normal functions to focus on ...

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

Summary: Cold water immersion for seven days significantly improves cellular resilience and autophagic function, helping ...

When dendritic cells present a self-peptide, the Treg cells trained to spot them intervene to stop helper T cells from getting triggered. This specificity is what Savage's team found makes a ...

A man who battled childhood cancer has received the first known transplant of sperm-producing stem cells, in a study aimed at ...

If you’re one of those parents who doesn’t want their kid to get a cell phone until they’re 30, you might want to reconsider. A new study shockingly found that cell phones can have a positive ...

Zika virus and dengue virus are very close relatives. Both are mosquito-borne flaviviruses, and both specialize in infecting ...

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge.

A scientific technique that rapidly increases the body's production of anti-inflammatory cells promoted healing from heart attacks in mice, according to a new study. Once adapted to treat humans, the ...
