Researchers have successfully engineered human immune cells to model an infection common among immunocompromised children in a breakthrough discovery, paving the way for new drug testing and treatments.

Researchers present a novel approach to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) called “Live-seq”, which enables the extraction of mRNA from single cells without killing the cell. The method is published in Nature.

Newly developed technology has revealed the impact of environmental conditions on the dynamic structures of RNAs in living cells.

Researchers investigating the effects of cancer-associated fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment have demonstrated that they can promote or inhibit drug sensitivity based on the type of tumor cell and the drug used for treatment.

A growing body of evidence suggests that brown and beige adipose tissues are protective against metabolic disease, such as insulin resistance and diabetes. Increasing production, or biogenesis, of the energy-burning beige fat has been linked to substantial improvement in metabolic health. Now, researchers have developed a transformative approach to make more of this kind of cell.

Defective virus particles could be a decoy to distract the immune system from fighting infectious viruses.

The immune cells that protect us from infection and cancer seek out a wide array of fuel sources to power their function — including some long thought to be cellular waste products.

Researchers have created an edible particle that helps make lab-grown meat with a more natural muscle-like texture using a process that could be scaled up for mass production.

A new study has exploited the incredible regenerative capacity of the zebrafish to explore how hydrogen peroxide might be used to help repair wounds and damaged nerves.

Researchers have discovered how impaired metabolism, caused by mutations in an enzyme, provokes deadly neuroendocrine tumors in the adrenal glands.
