The exchange of cells between a mother and a fetus is a well-documented phenomenon that scientists have known about for more ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Within tumors in the human body, there are immune cells (macrophages) capable of fighting cancer, but they have been unable to perform their roles properly due to suppression by the tumor.

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

Our cells may literally ripple with electricity, acting as a hidden power supply that could help transport materials or even ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the "conversations" between cells inside the body. The tools, called ...

Cells are crowded with proteins and nucleic acids. A new study measures subcellular densities across organisms to uncover how material is distributed. (Nanowerk News) Just as life pulsates in big ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...
