For six years, Professor Christopher Vakoc's lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has been on a mission to transform sarcoma cells into regularly functioning tissue cells. Sarcomas are cancers that ...

Scientists have discovered a simple yet powerful way to make stem cells stronger, healthier, and more capable than ever—by changing their diet. The result is a new class of super stem cells that ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, ...

Metastasis - or the spread of cancer from one part of the body to other parts - accounts for more than 90 percent of cancer-related deaths. Although the cells that seed metastasis and the sites that ...

D olly put Scotland on the biotechnology map 10 years ago. Today, Scotland is famous for developing a stem cell industry with global potential, thanks to a combination of scientific expertise, ...

Food & Drug Experts Say New Kidney Cell Therapy Could Transform Chronic Disease Treatment ...

Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are a specialized subgroup of immune cells that play a central role in the human immune system. These cells can suppress erroneous and therefore harmful immune ...

How cells become cancerous is a process researchers are still trying to fully understand. Generally, normal cells grow and multiply through controlled cell division, where old and damaged cells are ...

The field of science is littered with epic debates. But every so often, those dogmatic clashes yield fruitful new discoveries. Case in point: Some scientists believe they’ve discovered a new brain ...

Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the American Cancer Society, and the rate of new cases continues to rise. Now, researchers at University of ...
