Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

In many animal tissues, stem cells continually divide to create new cells that replace old or damaged ones. However, this ...

Lysosomes, the cell's recycling hubs, are best known for their role in a group of rare inherited conditions called lysosomal ...

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

Selecting specific cells to be used in an investigational therapy has led to improved recovery of heart function in a new study employing a lab model for myocardial infarction, the medical term for ...

Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients—amino acids in particular—are available, cells flip this switch ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...

Researchers have mapped DNA methylation and 3D genome contacts in the same cells. The atlas uncovers cell-type-specific ...

The study demonstrates that TRF2 goes beyond its traditional role of capping chromosome ends. In muscle stem cells, TRF2 ...

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...
