To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city ...

A new study reveals a simple and fast, label-free way to distinguish aggressive cancer cells by how they physically behave.

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). These include stuff like superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2).

UCSF scientists discover that the spindle, the structure that divides chromosomes equally during mitosis, actually gets stronger when it is stretched.

Scientists have designed an immunotherapy that reduces plaque in the arteries of mice, presenting a possible new treatment strategy against heart disease. The antibody-based therapy could complement ...

What if the future of energy storage wasn’t just an incremental improvement but a complete reimagining? Solid-state batteries, long considered the holy grail of energy technology, could be the key to ...

New study shows that aggressive cancer cells can be identified in a simple, new way; by how they physically behave, not just by their genes. Using specially textured Meta surfaces pattered with tiny ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

The high carbon footprint typical of a lab space is due to multiple factors, including high energy usage and large volumes of waste. Labs generally use four to five times the energy of a similarly ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are widely used around the world to study heart disease and test new drugs.
