In pursuit of a deeper understanding of cellular life, biologists use patterns in data as a springboard for probing specific elements in complex systems. Delete a gene here; express a protein there; ...

Stem cells form the backbone of many cell-based therapies due to their unique properties, including the ability to self-renew and differentiate to many cell types. Multiple cell therapies deliver ...

Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell’s survival and ...

All living organisms are made of cells, which are the smallest unit of life. Plants and animals have up to trillions of cells that work together to produce ever more intricate organization and ...

Understanding the human cell is vital to progress in the life sciences and to human health. Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life responsible for all of life’s processes. A typical human ...

Dead cells after the self-destruction and fragmentation process. The large green areas are the “eat me” signals which alert immune cells to kick-start clean-up and recycling process, while the small ...

How did the building blocks of life originate? The question has long vexed scientists. Early Earth was dotted with pools of water rich in chemicals—a primordial soup. Yet biomolecules supporting life ...
