One of the fundamental biological processes in life is the cell cycle leading from DNA replication to cell division. While it has been studied for decades and our knowledge has matured, sophisticated ...

We tend to view ourselves and the complex cells that build us as a distinct branch of the tree of life from the compact, ...

We all start from a single cell, the fertilized egg. From this cell, through a process involving cell division, cell differentiation and cell death a human being takes shape, ultimately made up of ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) refers to a group of genetic conditions that affect the red blood cells (RBCs) by altering their shape. The abnormally shaped cells are unable to perform the function of ...

The innate/general resistance system and the adaptive system are the two main subsystems of the immune system. To generate an efficient immune response, the innate and adaptive systems constantly ...

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) occurs when abnormal B cells accumulate in the bone marrow and blood. This crowds out healthy blood cells and weakens the body’s ability to fight infections.

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers examined the relationship between cell size and count across the human body, establishing a quantitative framework and uncovering ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among both men and women. Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are the two main types of lung cancer. Most lung ...
