June 19, 2025 — During Earth's ancient Snowball periods, when the entire planet was wrapped in ice, life may have endured in tiny meltwater ponds on the surface of equatorial glaciers. MIT ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries. A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one ...

There is currently no cure for SLE, but the Nature Medicine paper sparked hope that one might be near. The study tested a relatively new technology called CAR T cell therapy, which often uses a ...

What are T cell engagers? This class of drugs has shot to fame in recent years because of their ability to harness the immune system. T cell engagers are antibodies that are engineered to recognize ...

These regulators are known as MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 and when they were suppressed in colon cancer cells, the cells switched back to a normal-like state, removing the cancer threat without ...

Established in 2016, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium set out to create a comprehensive biological map of cells within the human body.

A simple question deserves a simple answer. How many cells are in your body? Unfortunately, your cells can’t fill out census forms, so they can’t tell you themselves. And while it’s easy ...

Blast cells are immature cells known as precursor or stem cells. Blasts give rise to all kinds of different specialized cells. For example, neuroblasts give rise to nerve cells. Myeloblasts are ...

Scientists have identified a mutation that significantly boosts the cancer-fighting ability of engineered T cells without causing toxicity. This innovative approach, which works against multiple tumor ...

We'll explain how solar power works, including the difference between a solar cell, module, panel and array. Simply put, solar power is created when solar radiation is absorbed and turned into ...

The average adult male has around 36 trillion cells in their body, while average adult females have 28 trillion, researchers have found. Unexpectedly, the mass of small cells in our bodies ...
