MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Scientists mapped where drugs bind inside the body, cell by cell, to better understand benefits and side effects.

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body's estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

"It's been a black box until now." Ye and colleagues have developed a novel imaging technique that illuminates the individual ...

Recently, a new phenomenon related to stem cell aging was observed in a study at the Sanford Stem Cell Research Institute in ...

Aged and frail people often suffer a decline in tissue reserve capacity during aging. This reserve, called resilience, helps ...

A New York University study has found that kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells. According to the study authors, their findings could help researchers better ...

As the body ages, organ function progressively declines and the risk for a wide range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, increases. Understanding how ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

How cells become cancerous is a process researchers are still trying to fully understand. Generally, normal cells grow and multiply through controlled cell division, where old and damaged cells are ...

In a person living with HIV, proviruses—strands of HIV DNA—are typically integrated into the T cell genome and become a ...
