We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

In two new studies, scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered detailed blueprints of how certain molecular "gates" in human cells work—findings that could open doors to new ...

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment—to know when to activate genes, build proteins and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they ...

Developing new medications can take years. But computational biologist Aviv Regev says AI-powered cell mapping is transforming the process—helping to create life-saving drugs in much less time. About ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have built a new type of nanoparticle that triples the efficiency of CRISPR gene ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for good. They enter a state called replicative senescence, where growth ceases ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work together to fight the virus by triggering an arsenal of antiviral defenses. In a ...
