New study shows that microglia cells “listen in” to neighboring neurons and change to match them.

DNA damage caused by factors such as ultraviolet radiation affect nearly three-quarters of all stem cell lines derived from human skin cells, say Cambridge

While a strong immune response is essential to fight against viral infection, an immune system that continues to stay active long after the virus has been cleared can lead to lung damage.

New findings show how stem cells coordinate to repair and replace the intestine's lining. The work could clarify disorders like inflammatory bowel disease.

Researchers have developed a nanobody that can get through the tough exterior of mouse brain cells and untangle misshapen proteins.

"In principle, we can now scale semitransparent organic solar cells to two meters by two meters, which brings our windows much closer to reality."

The protective caps at the ends of chromosomes naturally shorten over time. Researchers found that direct damage can prematurely trigger senescence and contribute to age-related diseases like cancer.

Their swirling, clustering behavior might someday inform the design of self-assembling robotic swarms.

Patients with blood cancer undergoing stem cell transplantation have a high risk of complications. The bacteria in their gut, however, can help their immune system recover and fight infections.
