Cells shrink a major internal structure as they age. New research shows this downsizing is deliberate—and linked to longer ...

The cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are opening up new avenues for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of ...

A distinct signaling pathway called TNF-α drives the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells. During cancer progression, cells activate their own TNF-α program and become ...

The last woolly mammoth roamed the vast arctic tundra 4,000 years ago. Their genes still live on in a majestic animal today—the Asian elephant. With 99.6 percent similarity in their genetic makeup, ...

Scientists at New York University have found that cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by researchers. The team’s ...

Gardner’s team first focused their efforts on the challenging task of creating mouse strains that could recapitulate the complex transformation in a simplified model. “It took three years to make ...
