Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Scientists identified a gene switch that helps immune cells fully mature, allowing them to clean up tissues and keep our ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up ...

Researchers profiled nearly 7 million individual cells from mice, identifying which cells are most vulnerable to aging and ...

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

University of Rochester Assistant Professor Marisol Herrera-Perez received a $2 million NIH MIRA grant to investigate the mechanical signals that guide how a single cell becomes a complex organism.

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...
