Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell’s survival and ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Stomata are critical to plant biology and scientists have found a key to how they get there. Scientists studying plants have uncovered a key part of the process that forms one of the most important ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

During infection, reversible switch permits flexible formation of memory T cells, long-lived blood cells that can remember pathogen encounters and respond upon reinfection. Unexpected findings have ...

In eukaryotic cells, which are found in complex organisms including humans, little membrane-bound organelles carry out various functions. It's been suggested that these organelles, which all have ...

A research team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) has made new insights into how the body forms immune cell clusters called tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in response to foreign ...
