Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in ...
Let’s say it’s 2036, and scientists are working on a new class of drugs. These medications are mirror-image versions of the molecules your body uses to fight disease. Their big advantage is that ...
Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells, a step that someday could help women who are infertile or gay couples have babies with their own genes but would also raise ...
An enhanced computer model is now helping to provide fresh insights into cancer-cell growth and how it can be stopped. The digital cell model represents another step towards individualized cancer ...
Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body, including to vital organs and tissues. They also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide. Too little or too many red blood cells may be ...
Researchers from UC San Francisco and Cedars-Sinai have developed a new way to prompt stem cells to form specific organs. It sets the stage for growing human organs from scratch – a long-time goal of ...

We’re born, we live, and we die but new studies exploring the phenomenon of dead cells taking on new functions after death, also known as the “third state,” is complicating that picture. In a research ...
Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
