Humans are hoping to colonize Mars in the near future, with NASA aiming to reach the Red Planet by 2040. But what will the long-haul space missions needed to get there do to the human body? Our ...

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 ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells behave like egg cells—a technique that could change the course of the future of ...

Dormant lung cancer cells change their shape from spindle shaped (above) to round (below), which helps protect them from the body's immune defenders. Image: Wang, Z., et al., Nature Cancer (CC BY 4.0) ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it more dangerous is the ability of cancer cells to move quickly through the ...

HOUSTON – (Sept. 12, 2024) – Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered new insights into tumor-induced B cell changes in blood and bone marrow of triple ...

mRNA bundled in lipid nanoparticles trains T cells in mice to eliminate cancer. Coupled with noninvasive imaging, researchers tracked the in situ CAR-T cells to assess their effectiveness and safety.

The body’s cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds – with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organisation of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals ...

MIT and Harvard scientists have designed an advanced type of immune cell called a CAR-NK cell that can destroy cancer while avoiding attack from the body’s own immune defenses. This innovation could ...
