From microglia reprogramming to immune cell-based diagnostics, 2025 was a big year for breakthroughs in cell biology.

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment, to know when to activate genes, build proteins, and carry out their ...

An international study led by the University of Basel has discovered that nuclear pore complexes—tiny gateways in the nuclear ...

Researchers are learning how to refill the energy reserves of aging human cells, turning a long-standing metaphor about ...

Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...

Researchers have identified a stress-activated control mechanism that helps breast cancer cells reshape gene activity to ...

This mutated immune cell, called a CAR-T cell, thereby "gains the function" of being able to bind to cancerous cells and kill them. The advance of similar immunotherapies that help the immune system ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes.

We have a variety of ways to terminate the life of a cell within our bodies. Some of these are programed processes within the cells themselves, while other deaths come from external processes.
