Natural killer cells act as the immune system’s rapid-response team, but the stress of anxiety and insomnia may be quietly thinning their ranks. A study of young women in Saudi Arabia found that both ...

One of the most unusual — and fun — events in college sports is a high-stakes spreadsheeting competition in Las Vegas.

New research by UCLA Health and UC San Francisco has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the buildup of a toxic protein that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, describe how ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Researchers have engineered magnetically controlled fluorescent proteins that can be remotely dimmed and brightened in cells and living animals. The hope is that these proteins’ magnetic sensitivity — ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune function and activating cGAS-STING and type I interferon signaling that ...

Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act as lightbulbs, enabling scientists to better see inside living cells to ...

If you often work with data that starts life as a text file or CSV, Microsoft Excel now has new built-in tools that simplify how that information gets pulled into a spreadsheet. The update introduces ...

Inflammation has to fight pathogens fast—but it can't get out of control. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now deciphered in more detail how the organism masters this ...

Scientists have found a way to turn immune cells already trapped inside tumors into active cancer fighters using a direct injection. The method bypasses complex lab procedures and shows strong ...
