Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Cells grow, divide, and stop growing at remarkably consistent sizes — but how do they know when to stop? This video explores ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for good. They enter a state called replicative senescence, where growth ceases ...

A tiny fleet of gold nanorobots is teaching stem cells how to become bone. At the same time, another lab is using gentle pulses of pressure to coax single cells into building mineral and collagen.

It is relatively easy to grow cells in the lab but turning them into realistic models of human tissue is harder. This requires creating an environment that closely mirrors the conditions in the body’s ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...
