Researchers working with Alzheimer’s disease mouse models have shown that manipulating a single factor in brain cells called astrocytes can clear existing amyloid-beta plaques and preserve memory, ...

Before testing new therapies in animals, researchers now have a more efficient starting point—lab-grown canine muscle cells that can help identify what works and what doesn't.

This study provides a transcriptome-based model for the evolutionary history of animal blood cells, from emergence to divergence. The initial blood cells emerged in early animals inheriting ...

Tesla hasn't improved much on the performance of its 4680 cells, which it now uses in some Model Y variants, including Long Range models built at Giga Berlin. The switch was made quietly, leading to a ...

Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with potential for novel therapies. The paper is published in the journal Science ...

A computational method called scSurv, developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, links individual cells to patient outcomes using widely available bulk RNA sequencing data. The approach ...

Five years ago, scientists watched in wonder as synthetic bacteria grew and split into daughter cells. The bacteria’s extremely stripped-down genome still supported its entire life cycle. It was a ...

Ms. Lacks’s family accused Novartis of profiting from her cells, which were taken from her without her consent in 1951, when she was dying of cervical cancer. By Michael Levenson The pharmaceutical ...

Scientists in China have unveiled a breakthrough way to mass-produce powerful cancer-fighting immune cells in the lab. By engineering early-stage stem cells from cord blood—rather than trying to ...

During the fourth quarter earnings call, Tesla revealed that it has begun equipping Model Y battery packs with 4680 cells. The news horrified recent Model Y owners, who remember the 4680 cell fiasco ...

Hypertension stands as one the most significant preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. This chronic condition affects several hundred ...
