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

A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Using a variety of laboratory and animal models, the team found that cysteine fuels the production of the antioxidant ...

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