Scientists are unraveling the role of senescent cells in a common form of epilepsy, and it could point to new treatments.

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a form of inflammatory programmed cell death called necroptosis. Their ...

A small group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into remission by an innovative form of immune therapy. For families facing a disease that ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a modular cancer immunotherapy that can be switched on, off or reprogramed to attack different cancers. Promising initial testing results, ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of MIT engineers has now developed a way to predict, minute ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...
