A class of antivirals called Pin1 inhibitors could reduce or stop outbreaks of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), the common ...

Researchers have succeeded in making human skin cells behave like egg cells, though the resulting fertilized embryos run them ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have accomplished a unique proof of concept to treat infertility by turning ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

Since we can't get an unending supply of eggs naturally, scientists have long been interested in creating a synthetic pathway to new egg cells. After all, biologists can turn skin cells into all kinds ...

The research could open up avenues for fertility treatments after additional refinement and trials, but it also raises ...

Researchers at OHSU have demonstrated a new technique to treat infertility by turning skin cells into oocytes, or eggs. Shown here, an image of an oocyte with a bright image of a skin cell nucleus ...

The process, which would carry significant safety concerns, involves removing the nucleus from a woman's skin cell and ...

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Sexual size differences are widespread in biology, yet the "how" behind them often remains vague. We asked a concrete ...
