New research shows pollution particles can stick to red blood cells, traveling through the body—and masks may help stop them ...

Scientists at Duke University made a groundbreaking discovery. They found pancreatic alpha cells can produce GLP-1. GLP-1 is similar to Ozempic. This hormone regulates blood sugar. It may offer a ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

How humans move is an open question, according to Mark Latash, distinguished professor of kinesiology at Penn State.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their work on the discovery of microRNA, a molecule that governs how cells in the ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

Scientists said Tuesday they have turned human skin cells into eggs and fertilized them with sperm in the lab for the first ...

A reproductive medicine professor described the work as an “exciting proof of concept” that may change approaches to ...

Scientists have developed functional eggs from ordinary human skin cells, a proof of concept that could open up new ways to ...
