The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.
