One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

In the same way that ChatGPT understands human language, a new AI model developed by computational biologists captures the language of cells to accurately predict their activities. In the same way ...

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

What researchers know of human cells is pieced together like a scrapbook full of snapshots: division here, fertilization there, with maybe a bit of differentiation in between. While scientists know ...
