Robots small enough to travel autonomously through the human body to repair damaged sites may seem the stuff of science ...

Humanity has heard bold promises about conquering aging before, but few are as provocative as the claim that people could ...

Cancer has long been medicine’s most elusive target, but a wave of new research suggests scientists may finally be closing in ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

CAR-T was developed to wipe out hard-to-treat blood cancers. But the cells that go bad in leukemias and lymphomas — immune cells called B cells — go awry in a different way in many autoimmune diseases ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave ...

A new immune cell conversion technology has been developed that directly transforms somatic cells into 'Natural Killer (NK) ...

A small tweak to mitochondrial energy production led to big gains in health and longevity. Mice engineered to boost a protein that helps mitochondria work more efficiently lived longer and showed ...
