Researchers have successfully reversed one of the effects of ageing in animals, and could be used to treat human diseases…
A group of cells within the brain that helps humans avoid accidents have been identified. The cells detect edges and help…
Cells use a tiny machine called the mitotic spindle to share genetic material equally between cells when they divide. But when this process goes wrong it can lead to cancer. For many years we’ve been interested…
Mammals display an incredible diversity in size. The largest mammal, the blue whale, can grow up to 30m long and weigh up to 200 tonnes. Now compare that to the Bumblebee bat, which is 3cm long and weighs…
Researchers from the University of Toronto have designed a new way to mature heart cells, which do not usually reproduce…
Brain tumours communicate with other cells in a similar way to twitter, according to a new study from the Brain and Mind…
Cancer cells are attracted by healthy cells, enabling them to move around the body and form secondary tumors, research suggests…
The effects of cancer can be reversed in the immune system of mice by targeting specific cells in the body, research has…
Targeting of specific cells has been found to reverse the effects of cancer on the immune system. In a study conducted by…
A new solar cell printer at CSIRO enables researchers to print organic photovoltaic cells around the size of an A3 sheet…
Scientists have discovered the origin of a group of skin-deep immune cells that act as the first line of defence against…
Examination of mutant tomatoes has lead scientists to identify how the plant’s skin is assembled. Identifying the utility…
Lab results have found that cloned cheek cells can keep the immune system from using lymphocytes to harm the body. Lymphocytes…
Genetic changes, similar to those acquired in human cancers, have been observed occurring in the stem cells in the latest…
Candida tropicalis cells, once thought to be asexual, have been discovered as being capable of mating sexually. Scientists…
The debate regarding how mitochondria first entered our cells has been reignited, with research from the University of Sydney…
A bacterium has provided new clues into how our cells evolved and came to possess energy-producing units. New research from…
