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

Researchers have created human embryos by taking nuclei from ordinary skin cells, placing them into donated eggs, and ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and ...

While most research on the biology of aging has focused on cell division, cells such as neurons and cardiomyocytes do not ...

Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence CIBSS have demonstrated that an actin scaffold stabilizes the cell nucleus upon mechanical stress. This protective mechanism helps cancer cells to avoid ...
