A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them ...

Cell biologists must decide whether to embrace the maturing field of systems biology. We argue that a fusion of the two is urgently needed to strengthen both fields. As researchers working in both ...

Even cells experience peer pressure. Scientists have long studied the ins and outs of cancer cells to learn more about the ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

When a gene gets duplicated, it often leads to the recipe being followed too many times, and the resulting “leftovers,” the ...

A new review article published in Genes & Diseases sheds light on the complex molecular mechanisms through which ...

The discovery of ‘ovoid cells’ is transforming our understanding of memory and may pave the way for new treatments for ...

The Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology is receiving a $10 million grant to support the training of new scientists and the ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to better capture how healthy cells surrounding tumors influence cancer cell behavior and how those interactions can inform treatments.
