Every winter, as the air sharpens and scarves return to shoulders, an old visitor also makes a reappearance: the flu. It announces itself with fever, aching limbs, and the familiar drip of a runny ...

Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular ...

Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production ...

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

The tiny pantheon known as the Asgard archaea bear traits that hint at how plants, animals and fungi emerged on Earth.

From influencing weight gain to supporting immune function, gut microbes do far more than digest food. They may even explain ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Pandurangan Vijayanand, M.D., Ph.D., William K. Bowes ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...
