In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

Researchers have developed artificial cell-like structures using inorganic matter that autonomously ingest, process, and push out material - recreating an essential function of living cells. Their ...

CD4+ T cells, or helper T cells, are one type of lymphocyte that helps coordinate the immune response against infection and disease. They interact and activate other cells in the immune system. The ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...
