Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...

Over the past year, most of your body has replaced itself cell by cell. What can we learn from other animals’ dramatic feats ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful ...

The fear of cancer stems from the dread that it can recur at any time, even after treatment. A South Korean research team has ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

Researchers have created tiny metal-based particles that push cancer cells over the edge while leaving healthy cells mostly unharmed. The particles work by increasing internal stress in cancer cells ...

The results could shed light on why the animals rarely get cancer. But the researchers’ ultimate goal of bringing back woolly mammoths is still aspirational. By Carl Zimmer When the biotechnology firm ...

Humans aren't the only biological systems capable of breaking generational cycles: The cells that make us are, too. New research shows that cells detect when their parent had difficulty dividing and ...

Losing weight can be a lot of work, which makes it all the more frustrating when, little by little, the weight creeps back. Now, a study suggests that fat cells retain a memory or past obesity, which ...

In a first, scientists have designed immune cells that protect stem cell transplants from being rejected by the body — and they could someday open the door for a cure for diabetes. The new cells, ...

Many aspects of our world, from the body mass of creatures in the animal kingdom to the population of cities across the globe, follow an intriguing mathematical pattern. Known as Zipf's law, the rule ...
