Researchers in Japan pioneered reprogrammed cells 20 years ago. Now the country has given the first-ever authorizations to manufacture and sell medical products based on the technology. “We are very ...

Scientists have uncovered a cellular mechanism that appears to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells – at least in mice. By targeting dysfunction in lysosomes, the cell’s recycling centers, ...

This article was researched using 20 sources. See our methodology and corrections policy. MATLAB is a leading environment for numerical computing, algorithm design, and data analysis used by engineers ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a new study has found, furthering scientists’ understanding of the potential effects of space exploration on the human body. Stem cells are found ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new healing mechanism in injured cells called cathartocytosis, in which cells "vomit" out their internal machinery to revert more quickly to a stem cell-like ...

MathWorks, a leading developer of mathematical simulation and computing software, revealed that a ransomware gang stole the data of over 10,000 people after breaching its network in April. The company ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...
