Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During ...

Scientists from A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR IMCB) have identified the specific cells responsible ...

After decades of development, the dream of regenerative medicine has become a clinical reality — in part. Researchers can now cultivate stem cells in a laboratory, transform them into specialized cell ...

A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants' ...

Research reveals that grey hairs are a small example of a cell choosing to bow out rather than risk turning malignant ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

Researchers from UC San Francisco and Cedars-Sinai have developed a new way to prompt stem cells to form specific organs. It sets the stage for growing human organs from scratch – a long-time goal of ...

After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs. Stem cells (like the ones above, growing in petri dishes) are able to ...

Scientists have developed a new method to boost the energy of aging or damaged cells, an innovation that could improve treatment of a variety of conditions.
