Human stem cell-derived neurons repaired breathing circuits and improved respiratory function in injured rats.

How and where did the first forms of life arise? These are the main questions driving research at the Institute of Molecular Evolution at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU). In a new ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

Researchers have found a way to supercharge natural killer cells, powerful immune cells that can attack cancer, so they can penetrate solid tumors and keep fighting once inside. In mice, these ...

Galit Meshulam-Simon is the associate director of Commercial Applications at Elegen. COVID-19 brought messenger RNA (mRNA) into the global spotlight, demonstrating its speed, flexibility, and efficacy ...

Molecules called reactive oxygen species, which include so-called "free radicals," have long been viewed as damaging byproducts of our body's metabolism—a reason antioxidant supplements have been ...

Scientists have long dreamed of discovering the alchemy by which chemicals can be turned into life. On Wednesday, a team at the University of Minnesota announced that it had taken a major step toward ...
