EMBL researchers have been using a powerful technique called expansion microscopy to peek deeper inside living organisms and ...

The new treatment approach targets restoring normal blood vessel function instead of focusing on neurons or other brain cells, which has been the common strategy until now. A team of scientists co-led ...

The breakdown of myelin, the insulating layer around brain cells that supports brain function, is prevalent in a range of ...

The human body relies on precise genetic instructions to function, and cancer begins when these instructions get scrambled.

Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can harnessing this molecular ...

Liver cells are indispensable for research—for drug testing, to better understand diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, or liver cancer and for development of future cell therapies.

Funded by the Alzheimer's Society, a group of scientists are racing against time to track the changes in the brain that leads ...

An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle ...

BEIJING -- A team of Chinese scientists crafted a super intravital microscope that is capable of seeing clearly the entire three-dimensional (3D) interactions of a large-scale cell's network at the ...

The human body relies on precise genetic instructions to function, and cancer begins when these instructions get scrambled.

Ozempic, MRI machines and flat screen televisions all emerged out of fundamental research decades earlier — the very types of ...
