Clock genes are a set of genes known to contribute to the regulation of the human body's internal 24-hour cycle, also known ...

Like AI, cells change and learn from experience, while unlike computer chips they arrive naturally preprogrammed ...

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable ...

Scientists create smart cells that administer automatic treatments from inside the human body, reacting within seconds to ...

Human egg cells slow the activity of internal waste disposal systems as they mature, keeping metabolism low and damage at bay ...

Human eggs are some of the most patient cells in the body, lying dormant for decades until needed. A study published today in The EMBO Journal shows that the cells deliberately slow the activity of ...

Cytoskeleton rearrangements promote formation of a giant structure called a GUVac that stops cells from dying when they become detached from the extracellular matrix.

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.
