Their bodies and genomes were built in the lab from scratch, each molecule specified precisely. According to John Glass, a ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling.

Engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a technique that uses microbubbles and ultrasound to help relatively large cancer drugs enter tumor cells and cause them to self-destruct. Dubbed ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...

Scientists have built functional cancer-fighting immune cells directly inside living animals, skipping the expensive and time-consuming process of extracting a patient’s cells and engineering them in ...

Scientists from A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR IMCB) have identified the specific cells responsible for gastric cancer's tendency to return after treatment. The study also ...

CAR T-cell therapy can be a lifesaving treatment for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The gene therapy trains a patient’s T cells—white blood cells that play an important role in the immune ...
