The presence of microplastics in our food and soil has become a global-level crisis. A young girl named Anushka Sable has found that they can cause tumor in our bodies.

In a separate experiment, they instructed the stem cells to form a beating, heart-like structure, complete with a central chamber and a network of blood vessels. “This type of synthetic ...

These regulators are known as MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 and when they were suppressed in colon cancer cells, the cells switched back to a normal-like state, removing the cancer threat without ...

Supernatants obtained from resting, PMA/Iono activated, or co-culture activated PB-NK and PB-CAR-NK cells were incubated with primary monocytes. BMCA was assessed by measuring IL-6 and IL-1β secreted ...

Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho remarked, "The fact that cancer cells can be converted back to normal cells is an astonishing phenomenon. This study proves that such reversion can be systematically induced." ...

A large-scale single-cell study shows aging happens in specific stages driven by molecular cues, offering targets to modify the aging process and revealing key age and sex-related cellular differences ...

In another instance, the scientists were able to spur the stem cells to generate a large heart-like structure complete with a central chamber and a regular beat, along with a network of early ...

Monocytes are immune cells that are part of the innate immune system—first responders—that fight infection and summon other components of the immune system to destroy invading viruses.

Maybe so, if they have the right diet. KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge tells us that T-cells that consume acetate can kill more cancer cells. Imagine your immune system could fight off cancer ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...

To discover how brain cells respond to microgravity, scientists sent tiny clumps of stem-cell derived brain cells called 'organoids' to the International Space Station. Microgravity is known to ...
