Researchers have published one of the first studies to demonstrate the importance of reactive oxygen species in maintaining stem cell function and preventing inflammation during wound repair.

Finding could lead to new treatments for diseases marked by uncontrolled cellular stress including cancer, metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative disorders.

A new study investigates why virus spillovers cause widespread disease in some new host species yet fizzle out in other species.

A new single-cell functional tool incorporating single-cell Raman-isotope probing, single-cell sorting and targeted metagenomics will enable researchers to screen and sequence active antibiotic resistant bacteria in native soils.

A group of ethicists and a cellular biologist have warned that blastoids are not without their own set of ethical considerations.

A large collaborative study by the Weizmann Institute of Science and the University of California San Diego (UCSD) has discovered multiple species of fungi living within human tumors.

Researchers have discovered that using early-stage stem cells is a key to producing structures that are reliable models of disease.

Researchers have discovered how a gene called ACTMAP is involved in the maturation of actin, one of the main components of the cell skeleton.

Researchers show that, in zebrafish and human cell cultures, oxytocin has an unsuspected function: it stimulates stem cells derived from the heart’s outer layer (epicardium) to migrate into its middle layer (myocardium) and there develop into cardiomyocytes, muscle cells that generate heart contractions.

Researchers have identified how oxidative breaks form and are repaired in what scientists thought to be "junk" DNA.
