A parasitic fungus that grows on caterpillars has been turned into a dress designed to be able to repair itself if damaged. Using the fungus Cordyceps militaris as a base, Ke Li at the Chinese Academy ...

DETROIT — Cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy work by doing one main thing: shredding the DNA of cancer cells so they can no longer multiply. However, cancer cells are notoriously ...

OKLAHOMA CITY — Even scientists also didn’t think it was possible fat cells would heal wounds, but now they know differently, according to Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. OMRF’s Lorin Olson, ...

When skin is wounded, it doesn't just send out chemical distress signals; it also generates a subtle electrical field. This "electric beacon" forms as the usual voltage across the tissue collapses, ...

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affects T cells. While most cases respond well to conventional chemotherapy, achieving long-term survival rates as ...

Contact lenses are a great vision correction option for many, but if one of them gets damaged, there is little to do other than throw it away. A team reporting in ACS Applied Polymer Materials has a ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces-through dense tissue, past other cells, between fibers-to reach the areas where they form neural circuits in the brain cortex. In a new ...

Researchers have captured the first atomic structures of human SMUG1, an enzyme that helps cells repair damaged DNA. The findings provide new insight into how cells recognize and remove harmful DNA ...

Researchers have developed organoids that can regenerate like the endometrium, the lining of the uterus that sheds and re-forms during the menstrual cycle. The team used the miniature 3D structures to ...

Brain cells that help make us human are also uniquely vulnerable to multiple sclerosis. A newfound cellular repair kit can’t keep up with the disease’s damage, leading to the cell death that’s a ...
