Environmental factors influence human cell physiology and can also affect drug efficacy, but existing model systems used to study human cells have limitations for understanding these contributions. In ...

WEHI researchers have led a major global effort to create the first authoritative atlas for a class of enzymes that regulate almost every cellular process in the human body. Published in Cell, the ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

A new Yale study of roundworms, a species with the unique ability to regenerate, reveals that disruptions in the body's ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

A precision cancer strategy that selectively kills tumour cells while leaving healthy tissue intact may be within reach for ...

Most antiviral drugs are built to hit one target in one virus. A treatment gets developed, the virus mutates, and suddenly the drug stops working. A study published in Nature Communications suggests ...
