Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a breakthrough in synthetic biology.

One of the fundamental biological processes in life is the cell cycle leading from DNA replication to cell division. While it has been studied for decades and our knowledge has matured, sophisticated ...

La Trobe University scientists have uncovered the critical role fatty cell structures play in our body's early detection and ...

Your intestine completely rebuilds its inner lining every few days—one of the fastest renewal processes in the human body.

Stem cell injections are a minimally invasive therapy and may offer long-term pain management for back pain. All cells have a particular function within the human body. They provide structure, take in ...

We all start from a single cell, the fertilized egg. From this cell, through a process involving cell division, cell differentiation and cell death a human being takes shape, ultimately made up of ...
