The growth and death of cancer cells in the lab are studied primarily in two-dimensional cell cultures. In a study published ...

As an embryo develops from a small cluster of stem cells, those once "blank slate" cells begin to take on more specialized ...

Cell growth and division constitute fundamental processes by which organisms maintain homeostasis, adapt to environmental cues and propagate genetic material. In prokaryotes, cell enlargement and ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or "editors," that control how those genes are read. The findings, published in ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

An experimental dressing captures growth factors and releases them when repair cells pull on the material. Tests found smaller mouse wounds after 10 days and improved cell migration into dressings in ...

U.S. government researchers have made a significant step forward in developing a fully automated process for cell-line development. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), ...

A review of existing research suggests that compounds in honey bee venom may help destroy breast cancer cells, slow tumour ...

In a recently published review, researchers led by Prof. Wu Qingfeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explored the ongoing process of neural ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
