A team of scientists has revealed the key mechanism of the loss of membrane protrusions on intratumoral natural killer cells, which impairs their ability to recognize and kill tumor cells, providing a new strategy for NK cell-based immunotherapy.

Males of the yellow crazy ant have two genomes each in separate cell clusters.

An unprecedented imaging analysis of cyanobacteria provided new insights into its structure and organization that could help synthetically replicate photosynthesis.

A team from the UNIGE has developed a new method for testing different cancer drugs, without going through the affected person’s body and without resorting to animal experiments.

A team of researchers at Tohoku University has unearthed some of the biological mechanisms of ferroptosis, a recently discovered type of regulated cell death that is triggered by iron and the accumulation of lipid peroxidation.

A 3D bioprinter has been developed for cancer research – it can print mini tumors on which researchers can test potential immunotherapy treatments.

Researchers have successfully bulk-produced fat tissue in the lab that has a similar texture and make-up to naturally occurring fats from animals and could be applied to the production of cultured meat, giving it a more realistic texture and flavor.

A team at the Technical University of Munich has induced stem cells to emulate the development of the human heart.

A type of white blood cell usually associated with immune responses to foreign particles may have another role in clearing out liver cells that have undergone apoptosis – where cells are programmed to die in a controlled manner.

Researchers from the University of Cologne’s CECAD Cluster of Excellence in Aging Research have uncovered one of the mechanisms by which a lower body temperature increases life expectancy. The study is published in Nature Aging.
