A new computational tool allows researchers to understand how the diverse cell types of the human body are made during ...

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something ...

Here, the authors combine principles of tissue engineering and synthetic biology to create a chronogenetic gene circuit for cell-based delivery of biologic drugs at controlled times of day.

Adding engineered human blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants boosted the survival of the insulin-producing cells ...

Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment -- a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by scientists but may be a promising target for treating cancer.

New research has resulted in the first high-resolution molecular picture of the equine endometrium—the inner lining of the uterus—before and after embryo implantation. This picture, or cell atlas, ...

Newly discovered brain cells count each bite before sending the order to cease eating a meal. Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to ...
