Certain T cells can secrete cytokines that are normally part of the innate immune system, a previously unknown property relevant to autoimmune diseases as well as fighting fungal infections.

A database of 200,000 cell images yields a new mathematical framework to understand our cellular building blocks.

Retinal cells grown from stem cells can reach out and connect with neighbors, according to a new study, completing a “handshake” that may show the cells are ready for trials in humans with degenerative eye disorders.

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown organelle inside neurons that we use to perceive smell, a finding that could have implications for further research on impaired sense of smell.

In a murine study, scientists have shown how time-restricted eating influences gene expression across more than 22 regions of the body and brain.

Fat tissues contain thousands of previously unidentified microproteins, one of which has been shown to increase appetite in mice.

Researchers get one step closer to unraveling how cells use their sense of touch to make decisions during embryogenesis.

Adults who stay well-hydrated appear to be healthier, develop fewer chronic conditions, such as heart and lung disease and live longer than those who may not get sufficient fluids.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that human brain organoids implanted into mice are able to establish functional connectivity and respond to sensory stimuli.

Researchers have developed a technique to allow cells to produce long protein chains that encode particular cellular events, which can then be read under a microscope.
