Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.

For people with eczema, stress can trigger flare-ups and worsen their itchy rashes. But the link between stress and skin ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

Scientists are investigating how exercise-triggered stress reshapes the cell’s energy systems, and whether those same mechanisms could eventually help counter metabolic disease. Don’t like the gym?

Scientists have discovered that cells can sense far beyond the surfaces they touch. While individual cancer cells can probe about 10 microns ahead by tugging on surrounding collagen fibers, clusters ...

Hydrogel micromachines recreate the push and pull of living cells, helping scientists study how mechanical forces shape tissues in the lab.

A newly discovered mechanism that protects nerve cells could have important implications for understanding and treating mental illness.

A team of scientists at Henry Ford Health + Michigan State University Health Sciences have uncovered a mechanism that allows certain head and neck cancers to hide from the immune system, a discovery ...

This article explores how advanced immune imaging technologies enable real-time visualization of immune responses, improving understanding of inflammation, autoimmunity, cancer therapy outcomes, and ...

Strong winds and wave action Sunday caused a fuel cell on barge carrying approximately 1,800 gallons of diesel fuel to sink ...

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.
