Cells that stop dividing do not simply disappear. Some remain active, change their surroundings and accumulate as the body ...

Lysosomes, the cell's recycling hubs, are best known for their role in a group of rare inherited conditions called lysosomal storage disorders, where harmful molecules build up inside these ...

Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients—amino acids in particular—are available, cells flip this switch ...

Selecting specific cells to be used in an investigational therapy has led to improved recovery of heart function in a new study employing a lab model for myocardial infarction, the medical term for ...

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

The researchers focused on a rare inherited condition called familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2). People with this ...
