Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

How did cells evolve a process to end their own lives? Recent research suggests that apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, first arose billions of years ago in bacteria with a primitive ...

The process of aging, and how to stop it, has long puzzled scientists. However, in a new study, published in the journal EMBO Reports, researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University in ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new healing mechanism in injured cells called cathartocytosis, in which cells "vomit" out their internal machinery to revert more quickly to a stem cell-like ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

Emily Whitehead made the history books in 2012 when she become the first pediatric patient with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia to be given a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. After ...
