Normal human red blood cells have an average life span of about 120 days in the circulation after which they are engulfed by macrophages. This is an extremely efficient process as macrophages ...

B-cell lymphomas make up most (about 85%) of the non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) in the United States. These types of lymphomas start in early forms of B lymphocytes (B cells). The most common types of ...

Cells change their metabolic profiles in response to underlying gene regulatory networks, but how can alterations in metabolism encode specific transcriptional instructions? Here, we show that forcing ...

Fluorescence imaging has made tremendous inroads toward understanding the complexity of biological systems, but in vivo deep-tissue imaging remains a great challenge due to the optical opacity of ...

People often refer to mitochondria as the powerhouses of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells, but they are also involved in cell signaling and death.

Research to address these limitations is exploring avenues as diverse as gene therapy, cell therapy, cell reprogramming, and bioengineering of human tissue and replacement organs. Tissue-engineered ...

If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic instability and cancer. Researchers at UNIST and IBS have experimentally ...

LMR cells reportedly offer a 33% higher energy density when compared to leading lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) cells. GM says this feature will boost range to over 400 miles (644 km) in most of its ...

Illumina is suing Element Biosciences, with the sequencing giant accusing its smaller rival of infringing on five of its patents covering flow cell and imaging technologies used in automated ...

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed the cognitive decline seen in both healthy aging and dementia. It provides a deeper ...
