From early development to old age, cell death is a part of life. Without enough of a critical type of cell death known as ...

When complex multicellular organisms grow and develop, their tissues must undergo remodeling. As new cells begin to ...

The idea grew after one of the study's authors, professor of developmental biology Gerald Crabtree, reexamined an already understood process called apoptosis, in which cells decide to destroy ...

You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes recycle waste ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a decent while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over two years since we heard anything official about the game.

An ambitious plan to map all 37 trillion cells in the human body is transforming understanding of how our bodies work, scientists report. The received wisdom said we were built from around 200 ...

Two distinct modes of cell death—necrosis and apoptosis—are involved in pathological neuronal loss, but apoptosis alone is the mechanism of programmed cell death during development. All cells will ...

(Ana-Maria Cujba/Wellcome Sanger Institute via AP) This image provided by Nathan Richoz shows a T cell aggregate in a human trachea biopsy on July 12, 2021, at the University of Cambridge in Cambridge ...

But a new study, published Nov. 19 in Current Biology, offers compelling evidence that even tiny single-cell creatures such as ciliates and amoebae, as well as the cells in our own bodies, could ...
