Cell therapy is an advanced biomedical approach that utilizes living cells as therapeutic agents to treat disease or repair tissue. 4 Scientists isolate cells from a patient or a healthy donor and ...

In a demonstration that could help pave the way for gene therapies with fewer side effects, several human cell types have been genetically modified with protein nanoparticles designed at University of ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

Researchers at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute have demonstrated that combining data from different origins enables a more precise characterization of cell type's diversity into ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...

Whether it’s counting red blood cells under a light microscope or recording bursts of electricity as neurons fire, scientists spend a lot of time studying cells. With such a diversity in form and ...

Osaka, Japan – All living beings, big or small, are formed through the hard work of many different cells. To keep the body ready for any challenge, cells need to be dynamic. Often, this means the same ...

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in ...
