Duckweed is the fastest-growing flowering plant, but new knowledge of duckweed genetics discovered by Adelaide University ...

Kim Toscano has provided gardening expertise for over 20 years through her writing, videos, and garden designs. The airy blooms of spider flowers stand tall in the garden, adding movement as they sway ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...

A cutting-edge therapy using base-edited immune cells is offering a major breakthrough for patients with one of the toughest forms of blood cancer, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. By precisely ...

CD7 is an attractive target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Supportive results of first-in-human studies of base ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent ...

Researchers at Science Tokyo have uncovered two distinct stem cell lineages responsible for forming tooth roots and surrounding bone, revealing the signaling networks that orchestrate their ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. The ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

To work correctly, your body needs healthy blood cells. It makes new ones every day. All blood cells start in your bone marrow as stem cells. Each type of blood cell does its job and then dies off.

Stem cells are a special type of cell that can be found in almost every tissue of your body, including your bone marrow (the spongy center of certain bones). Stem cells have the power to make more of ...
