A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Supercharging immune cells could provide an effective way to tackle cancer, according to new research by scientists in ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

A rise of murders is traumatising inmates and staff, and making life harder for staff. But even in prison, violence isn’t inevitable ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Cells spend energy not just on reactions, but on control. New research explains why staying stable comes with an unseen ...
