Stanford scientists have discovered a new type of immune cell that kills surrounding cells via explosion—a cellular ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds—with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals.

Researchers with the global Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium report significant progress in their quest for a better understanding of the cells of the human body in health and disease, with the ...

Dubbed “ruptoblasts,” hormonal triggers cause these cells to detonate and wipe out the surrounding cells within minutes. Although flatworms are distant relatives of humans, this finding could inspire ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An international research team led by Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt and Goethe ...

Cells are typically studied outside the body under controlled laboratory conditions. However, conventional flat cell culture ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body's estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

Stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rapidly growing lymphoma affecting at least one other organ outside the lymphatic system. Cancer is the unusual growth and spread of cells within the ...

New research shows how a specially trained population of immune cells keeps the peace by preventing other immune cells from attacking their own. The study provides a better understanding of immune ...
