A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something wholly unexpected.

Examples of planar soft cells with two sharp corners in nature and in architecture. Left column: geometric soft cells. Middle columns: natural examples. Right column: examples from the architecture of ...

The planarian is nobody's idea of a genius. A flatworm shaped like a comma, it can be found wriggling through the muck of lakes and ponds worldwide. Its pin-size head has a microscopic structure that ...

Creating physiologically relevant conditions for cells that replicate in vivo environments can improve experimental results, ...

Researchers have pinpointed what could be the early genetic origins of breast cancer -- cancer-like mutations appearing in the cells of healthy women. In a new study, the international collaborators ...

But they've done a lot more than that. The impact of sex as a biological variable is far more subtle and pervasive than it may seem. In fact, sex-based differences with implications for our health ...

White blood cells help your body fight inflammation and infections. A high or low white blood cell count may be associated with a number of short-term or long-term health conditions. White blood cells ...
