Your body contains trillions of cells, each carrying out specific functions to keep you alive. According to a 2016 article in PLOS Biology, about 97% of these cells are made up of red blood cells, ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have made a major discovery about cancer cells. This new ...

Your skin is in a constant state of reinvention. Every month, your body sheds and regenerates its entire outer layer—a ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform into more invasive, drug-resistant versions of themselves. A protein called ...

The prospect of diagnosing cancer through painless methods—such as a simple AI-assisted blood or urine test that detects tiny ...

New research reveals that cells can sense far beyond their immediate surroundings, a biological ability once thought to ...

“There has never really been an integrated explanation as to why cancer cells develop plasticity,” said Antonio Iavarone, M.D. “That’s what our study does. We’ve now revealed how the plasticity of ...

A protein involved with cell death can be manipulated to slow or reverse tumor growth, a pair of new studies in mice found. A colorized three dimensional micrographic scan of a melanoma cell. Recent ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden.

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...
