Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

Labroots and the Cell Biology Planning Committee are pleased to announce the 10th Annual Event in the Cell Biology Virtual Event Series 2026 on September 16th, 2026. This event provides an opportunity ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...

Humans develop sharp vision during early fetal development thanks to an interplay between a vitamin A derivative and thyroid hormones in the retina, Johns Hopkins University scientists have found. The ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the laboratories of researchers at the University of Chicago who are working to improve our ...

Prof. Jeremy Baskin, chemistry and chemical biology and a member of the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology, works with his multidisciplinary team of students to combat disease in a unique ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). These include stuff like superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2).

A research team has discovered when and why inflammatory signaling affects the formation of blood stem cells in embryos, which will benefit efforts to develop lab-grown, patient-derived stem cell ...
