Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the ‘dark genome’ that are responsible for controlling how cells sense and respond to the ...

A quick revision guide covering key concepts, biomolecules, cell organelles, and essential NEET-style MCQs to boost exam ...

Mitochondria can lose power like batteries, but they can potentially be regenerated—a promising development than can be used ...

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) arises from defective blood stem cells that progressively lose their normal functions.

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Reducing calorie intake helps cancer-fighting immune cells do their jobs more effectively, reports a study by Van Andel ...

Over the past few decades, advances in hematology have illuminated how a delicate balance between stem cell self-renewal and ...

Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without renewal. A trait echoed within the cells' components, some enduring as long as the organism itself. Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without ...

Adult stem cells have captured researchers’ interest since their discovery in the 1960s. Due to their unique capacity to self-renew and differentiate into multiple cell types, scientists find them ...

Dietary iron deficiency in mice alters lung T cell activation during influenza infection and leads to memory T cells that are ...
