Scientists have collected troves of DNA and microscopic imaging data from human cells—and now they have a tool that might ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

Sheet metal is very easy to form, including the pressing in of intricate shapes with dies and a hydraulic press, but the dies themselves are slightly harder to come by. What if we could 3D print ...

Cartilage cells that contain fat explain why some skeletal tissues are less rigid than others, and could one day be grown in ...

Regulatory T (T Reg) cells are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance, preventing autoimmunity and limiting chronic inflammatory diseases. However, they also limit beneficial responses by ...

Maybe so, if they have the right diet. KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge tells us that T-cells that consume acetate can kill more cancer cells. Imagine your immune system could fight off cancer ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...

To discover how brain cells respond to microgravity, scientists sent tiny clumps of stem-cell derived brain cells called 'organoids' to the International Space Station. Microgravity is known to ...

Researchers are exploring the world’s first virtual human cell, an AI-powered model designed to simulate the complex behavior of human biomolecules, cells, and tissues. Credit: Emma Lundberg Recent ...
