The tumor microbiota—which includes bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms present in tumor tissue—is now ...

As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

A new Yale study of roundworms, a species with the unique ability to regenerate, reveals that disruptions in the body's ...

Stem cells are the body's ultimate shape-shifters, sustaining tissues by balancing two competing demands: maintaining their ...

Integrating proteomics with systems biology reveals complex cellular networks, improving disease mechanisms understanding and precision medicine applications.

Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer including drugs, policy, science, and equity. He joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at NPR and NPR affiliate stations. His ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

Around the same time, Mack Fulwyler, an engineer working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, needed to separate particles, so he drew on existing techniques to create droplets to separate cells from a ...

The elimination of damaged cell components is essential for the maintenance of the body's tissues and organs. Researchers have made significant findings on mechanisms for the clearing of cellular ...
