A rogue set of “zombie” immune cells may be driving aging and fatty liver disease by flooding tissues with inflammation.

UCLA researchers have identified a rogue population of immune cells that quietly accumulates in aging tissues and in the ...

A new study co-led by an Oregon Health & Science University researcher describes a breakthrough in microscopy tools that ...

A new analytical method could improve how cancer treatments are designed—by allowing scientists to track, for the first time, ...

A robot smaller than a single bacterium can now chase down, capture, transport, and release live microbes in water, all ...

Some of the most ancient fossils collected to date were traced back to the Ediacaran period. This is the time interval ranging from around 635 to 541 million years ago, shortly before the time when ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: With more than 100,000 people in need of an organ transplant in the U.S. alone, scientists have turned toward perfecting human-animal chimeras as a ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...
