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 ...

Sickle cell disease is inherited at birth when you receive related genes from both parents. One gene usually causes sickle cell trait (SCT), which often has no health problems. The main sickle cell ...

Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their ...

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 ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

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 ...

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 ...

The kinocilium of vestibular hair cells is a unique organelle with molecular features of primary and motile cilia and may serve as an active, force-generating element within the hair bundle.

Banding patterns of cellulose increase the stability of plant cell walls, much like the corrugated patterns in cardboard. Penn State biologists developed a method to isolate plant cells and observe ...
