A small trial used designer CAR T cells to reboot the immune systems of patients with three autoimmune diseases, but it's ...

Up until recently, habituation -- a simple form of learning -- was deemed the exclusive domain of complex organisms with brains and nervous systems, such as worms, insects, birds, and mammals. But a ...

From oozing amoebas to our body's own building blocks, individual cells appear to be capable of a complex type of learning ...

Check out the photograph that won a pair of MCG researchers the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition.

Muscle strength is only part of the equation—learn why supporting your tendons and ligaments is essential for long-term ...

The research highlights how evolution repurposes existing genetic tools, turning them into versatile drivers of innovation.

Many living organisms are able to regenerate damaged or lost tissue, but why some are particularly good at this and others are not is not fully understood. Molecular biologists have now made an ...

The immune system has evolved to heal small ruptures and fractures with remarkable efficacy. So why not try to mimic the same ...

A new study suggests that individual cells may exhibit learning-like behaviors, previously thought exclusive to organisms with nervous systems.

A new study demonstrates that even simple single-cell organisms, such as ciliates and amoebae, exhibit habituation, a basic ...

The invention uses light, sound and bubbles to quickly create copies of soft tissue that might one day support testing individualized therapies for cancer and other diseases ...

In a development that may rewrite the rules of biology, researchers have created mouse stem cells using genes borrowed from ...
