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

A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die.

When your hair starts to gray, it’s easy to blame stress, age, or bad genes. But a new study from Japan suggests that those fading pigments may also be a biological shield. New research suggests that ...

Organisms are composed of cells, some of which are constantly replaced, while others stay in place for a long time. For many years, scientists studied cell biology and tissue function by analyzing the ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Most of them come from a subset of viruses called retroviruses, which infect host cells and then trick them into making the proteins that they need to replicate. Occasionally, a retrovirus will embed ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

Join us for a live webinar on the latest advancements in spatial biology. Featuring two insightful presentations, learn how cutting-edge imaging and single-cell technologies are transforming our ...

Every second, trillions of tiny parcels travel through your bloodstream—carrying vital information between your body's cells. Now, scientists at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute have opened this ...
