Normally, cells must be lysed for a so-called transcriptome analysis - which reveals which genes are currently being expressed - making repeated measurements on the same cells impossible. The research ...

Until now, studying the genetic processes in cells required destroying them - making it impossible to observe these processes over extended periods of time. A team from the Technical University of ...

Every cell in the human body squeezes over six feet of DNA into a minuscule speck invisible to the naked eye—like compressing a whole house into a single sugar cube. In order to fit in a cell and ...

Cancer cells are known for their “glutamine addiction,” but many can escape this weakness by switching to alternative fuels. Researchers found that vitamin B7 acts like a metabolic “license,” enabling ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...

The best time to get an infection might be after a meal, suggest experiments in mice and humans that found that certain immune cells, known as T cells, seem to get a boost from food. The findings, ...
