Physical forces from gravity, muscle contraction, and more have strong impacts on how the cells in our bodies behave. For instance, weight-bearing exercise helps stave off osteoporosis because cells ...

Natural killer cells act as the immune system’s rapid-response team, but the stress of anxiety and insomnia may be quietly thinning their ranks. A study of young women in Saudi Arabia found that both ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), characterized by its distinctive hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, roughly one-fifth the width of a human hair, each cell contains a dense mix of proteins, organelles, and molecular ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers. (Nanowerk ...

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is worried about cell phones. Under the department, the Food and Drug Administration has removed webpages that asserted the devices are safe, according ...
