A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled ...

Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...

Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade this control: they block defense mechanisms or send inhibitory signals. In ...

Diamond nanoparticles containing nitrogen-vacancy centers can now monitor cellular metabolism in real time, targeting specific organelles while tracking particle movement inside living cells.

A microscopic image shows small red centers connected by networks of branched and straight filaments. The team mixed purified actin monomers with precise concentrations of two nucleation-promoting ...

Scientists have already created designer viruses in a lab that can kill dangerous bacteria. The next step is designing and growing actual living cells such as bacteria and fungi. They would be ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are ...

A study led by Brazilian researchers has reconstructed the brain environment in the lab, revealing for the first time live interactions between cancer and healthy tissue, with the potential to reshape ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

The cure for diabetes is a life free from daily insulin injections. Based on that criterion, ten out of 12 people (83%) in a new clinical trial were cured of their diabetes one year after receiving an ...

Chemists have created a synthetic cell that can be activated by a magnetic field to release a medicine whilst deep in the body. Synthetic cells are non-living mimics of real cells. They have a fatty ...
