Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have created the first detailed map showing how genetic activity is controlled in individual cells of the adult ...

HeLa cells are the most famous human cells in science. Discover how cervical cancer, HPV proteins, and bioethics shaped one of medicine’s biggest breakthroughs.

Australian scientists have pinpointed likely 'cells of origin', the source cells that can grow into breast cancer, in women carrying a faulty BRCA2 gene who are at high risk of developing the disease.

The 'cell of origin' of the second most common lung cancer and the way that it becomes dominant in the lung have been discovered, in a new study in mice and humans from researchers at UCL, the ...

Australian scientists have pinpointed likely 'cells-of-origin', the source cells that can grow into breast cancer, in women carrying a faulty BRCA2 gene who are at high risk of developing the disease.

Trudy Oliver, professor of pharmacology and cancer biology, is part of a team of scientists that recently published a study uncovering a major shift in how scientists understand small-cell lung cancer ...

Multicellular organisms, including humans, can be incredibly complex even though they start from one fertilized cell. The many cells that compose the tissues and organs in a body are derived from ...

Two adult mouse pituitary glands. On the left, gonadotrophs derived after birth from stem cells appear in yellow. On the right, gonadotrophs in the embryo appear in green/yellow in the centre of the ...

Working with human breast and lung cells, scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many times, a hallmark of ...

If we asked you to think of a device that converts a chemical reaction into electricity, you’d probably say we were thinking of a battery. That’s true, but there is another device that does this that ...
