Mouse intestinal organoids grown in PIC–invasin and BME. Green cells mark the Lgr5+ stem cells that initiated the discovery of organoids. The intestinal stem cells are located at the crypt ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel ...

Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...

Your skin is in a constant state of reinvention. Every month, your body sheds and regenerates its entire outer layer—a complete turnover powered by tiny, tireless stem cells. These same cells spring ...

T cells are an elite fighting force of the immune system, seeking out and destroying diseased cells. But in a prolonged campaign against a chronic condition—like a viral infection or cancer—the body ...

Full-body defense does not always look the way textbooks say it should. In planarian flatworms, a newly identified cell type ...

Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body, including to vital organs and tissues. They also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide. Too little or too many red blood cells may be ...

Scientists are uncovering a surprising truth about aging cells: some may damage the body, while others help protect it. The discovery is fueling a new wave of precision anti-aging therapies aimed at ...
