Scientists in China have uncovered a molecular trick that colon cancer cells use to survive what should be an explosive death ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

Scientists discovered a population of cells that can start the process of programmed cell death, survive it, and then help rapidly rebuild damaged tissue. Their descendants become far more resistant ...

During transplantation, blood flow to the donor liver must stop as it's moved to the recipient. Once transplanted, oxygen-rich blood is restored, yet doing so can cause what is called ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

After cells die, they leave a residue that sends messages to other cells in ways that are valuable to the immune system. But this process can also be hijacked by viruses such as influenza, according ...

Death does not make DNA disappear. Long after the heart has stopped and the brain has lost function, genetic material can remain inside cells and tissues. What changes is the environment around it: ...
