eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

Cell growth usually refers to cell proliferation, the increase in cell numbers that occurs through repeated cell division. Cell growth can also refer to the enlargement of cell volume, which can ...

Here’s how it works. It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a decent while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over two years since we heard anything official ...

The findings, which were reported in Cell, showed that some market samples carried genetic material from both animals like raccoon dogs and civet cats along with SARS-CoV-2 viral genetic material, on ...

Researchers in Australia have found a whole new type of cell that fills a major hole in our understanding of how the mammal body heals. For over a century, scientists have hypothesized that a cell ...

Doctors suggested putting Emily on a clinical trial for CAR T-cell therapy, an experimental treatment that had just been approved for paediatric patients by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Sickle cell crisis is a health complication of sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder. It usually causes severe pain, and it happens due to an acute blood cell reaction. Sometimes sickle ...

CAR T-cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy. CAR stands for chimeric antigen receptor. You might also hear it called a type of adoptive cell transfer. CAR T-cell therapy is a very complex and ...

The problem of cell type became clear to genome biologist Jason Buenrostro in 2013. He was studying a cell line derived from someone with cancer, trying to map out how the DNA was arranged in the ...

Now, an international team of mathematicians has discovered a new class of shapes capable of tiling with a minimal amount of sharp corners, which they define as “soft cells.” Their findings ...

AtLEA3-3 was cloned in pET28a vector by Twist Bioscience. Clones were propagated in DH5α cells (NEB, Cat. #C2987H) and verified by Sanger sequencing (Eton Bioscience). Expression constructs were ...

These 800,000 lab-grown brain cells can play a 1970s video game, albeit badly Researchers have grown brain cells in a lab that have learned to play the 1970s tennis-like video game, Pong.
