Researchers identified brain cells in the lateral habenula that activate when outcomes are worse than expected, acting as a ...

Billions of cells die in your body every day. Some go out with a bang, others with a whimper. They can die by accident if they’re injured or infected. Alternatively, should they outlive their natural ...

A new study from UC San Francisco shows how certain cells in the brain may cause aneurysms to weaken and rupture. It helps ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Organoid intelligence sounds like sci-fi. But it’s here. See how it’s reshaping disease modelling, drug discovery, AI, ...

A group of white blood cells known as B cells, which play a key role in the human immune response, need a protein-targeting signal called mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) in order to proliferate, ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a "third state" that lies beyond the traditional ...
