Scientists have uncovered an unexpected function for a crucial protein involved in cell division. Reported in two consecutive publications, the finding challenges long-accepted models and standard ...

The discovery that fat is a communicative organ with a role in everything from bone health to mood is forcing a rethink of ...

The researchers used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) mRNA to cancer cells. This results in production of the endogenous stimulator of interferon genes ...

MIT and Harvard scientists have created engineered CAR-NK cells that can hide from the immune system and more effectively destroy cancer. The cells are designed to suppress immune-rejection signals ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

In a controversial step that raises the possibility of a new kind of infertility treatment, scientists report that they have produced functional human eggs in the lab that were able to be fertilized ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancer types. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, in collaboration with the Department of Pathology at Karolinska University Hospital, shows that ...

Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our cells, also helps immune cells called T cells communicate and organize their ...

Precancerous cells, also called premalignant cells, are abnormal cells that have changes in how they look or grow. The cells are not cancer, but they show changes that raise the risk of turning into ...

Resurrection beyond cellular disintegration is simply impossible. However, when a person dies, cell death itself isn’t instant. Researchers are taking advantage of a timed window during which they can ...

Knoepfler is STAT’s Lab Dish columnist and professor of cell biology and human anatomy at UC Davis School of Medicine. Japanese regulators just quietly gave researchers there a historic OK to generate ...
