Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Glucose is a sugar that is essential for the body's energy balance and the most important source of energy for the brain and muscles. If glucose is lacking, this creates considerable stress to the ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

The capacity of intestinal stem cells to maintain cellular balance in the gut decreases upon aging. Researchers at the University of Helsinki have discovered a new mechanism of action between the ...

Cells are constantly on the move, whether in a developing embryo or metastatic cancer. But how do cells adapt to the new environments they encounter? Traditionally, scientists have believed that cells ...

In a wholly new approach to cancer treatment, Northwestern University biomedical engineers have doubled the effectiveness of chemotherapy in animal experiments. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Why does cancer sometimes recur after chemotherapy? Why do some bacteria survive antibiotic treatment? In many cases, the ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, researchers used an organ-wide approach to quantitatively analyze cell number, size, and identity regulation upon nutrient-induced tissue adaptation of ...
