Skin and other epithelial cells, however, were thought to be silent; they form barrier tissues that protect the body’s interior from the outside world, and they weren’t assumed to need this ...

A new study uncovers a surprising mechanism by which the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19, might cause immune-mediated tissue damage by targeting cells it has never infected.

The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells from the human body and deliver them to repair injuries and fight disease from the inside out. But not all stem ...

Since 2009, the maximum efficiency of perovskite solar cells has risen from 3.9% to 30.1% —it took 37 years for crystalline silicon solar cells to achieve comparable efficiencies.

A paradigm shift in the way we treat spinal injuries is now in sight, with the world's first regenerative cell therapy being granted approval for a registrational Phase I clinical trial. It's a ...

A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day help clean up sectors where it’s difficult to replace fossil fuels, like rail, regional aviation, and short-distance shipping. The ...

First vascularized model of stem cell islet cells Date: May 23, 2025 Source: Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association Summary: Researchers have developed a ...

An international team of researchers led by Max Delbrück Center Scientific Director Professor Maike Sander, MD, has for the first time developed an organoid model of human pluripotent stem cell ...

A French research team from Institut Curie, the CNRS and Inserm has just developed a new class of small molecules that bring about the destruction of cell membranes, and hence triggers cell death ...

Maybe you remember high school biology. It was probably then that you learned about cells dividing through mitosis, and mentally repeated the terms interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester have changed our understanding of how cells in living organisms divide, which could revise what students are taught at school. In a study published ...

MSK’s History of Stem Cell Research for Parkinson’s The phase 3 trial is the culmination of research going back 25 years, when Dr. Studer first came to MSK and began investigating embryonic stem cells ...
