Scientists discover how yellow fever and encephalitis viruses enter human cells, and block them with decoy molecules.

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

In a recent study, researchers manipulated cellular proteins that control genes in aged mice. Experimental results showed their livers were rejuvenated to younger states. This work shows promise as a ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Sneaky parasite evades the human immune system by stripping cells and wearing them as a disguise Parasites are known to infect human cells through a variety of ingenious mechanisms. Many of them have ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

Assessing the toxicity of food contaminants—including carcinogenic potential—is a major challenge in evaluating the risks ...
