A newly identified cell type in planarian flatworms can detonate itself and destroy neighboring cells in less than two ...

Background A resemblance of pancreatic tumours to their native tissue architecture remains largely unexplored, while it may ...

Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting mutations throughout their lifespan, yet these mutations rarely drive tumour formation. Tumours in a given tissue usually originate from a specific ...

Scientists have created the most detailed cell map to date showing how genetic variation influences inflammatory bowel ...

Largest cellular study of gut tissue unveils the genes and pathways driving inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting new therapeutic targets.

Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

Cells are typically studied outside the body under controlled laboratory conditions. However, conventional flat cell culture ...

Bone is a common site for metastasis of solid cancers, but histological and molecular features of bone metastases are not well understood. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at ...
