Molecular biologist Cynthia Kenyon speaks about her seminal discovery and excitement for the future of longevity research ...

A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer ...

UCSF scientists engineered old fibroblast cells to turn their genes on and off in the same way as young fibroblasts. The old ...

The goals of this project represent the culmination of more than two decades of 3D bioprinting innovation by Chen and his lab ...

Open the Youtube video Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights. Experiments typically yield averages, not clear-cut ...

We usually assume that tissue folding (the process that creates organs, embryos, and the deep ridges of the human brain) requires complex internal control. So then how does one of the world’s simplest ...

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

Japanese researchers discovered that hair graying and melanoma share a surprising cellular origin. When DNA damage strikes melanocyte stem cells, they may undergo a protective process called ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...
