General Motors Co. on Tuesday announced plans to make cheaper battery cells for electric trucks and SUVs at a U.S. plant beginning in 2028. The Detroit automaker says it will begin commercial ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Generative AI has been used to design synthetic DNA regulatory sequences that precisely control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. These AI-generated ...

She has found that nerve cells stand a better chance if they are better at clearing away harmful protein waste in flies with changes in the C9orf72 gene. Dr. Niccoli said, "Let's look at the fly ...

The first attempts to transplant islet cells to treat type 1 diabetes began half a century ago. Doctors then sought the pancreatic tissue of deceased donors from which islet-producing tissue was ...

In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave — including halting fat development. “Since sound is non-material, acoustic stimulation ...

When this happens, not only do your brain and ears perceive it, but your cells may also. Technically speaking, sound is a simple phenomenon, consisting of compressional mechanical waves ...

For over 150 years, scientists have known that wounds alter electric fields across skin cells, says cell biologist Min Zhao of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. But they didn ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

And in some cases, both these events can occur. Ultimately, cells become energy-depleted, and this can lead to organ dysfunction and failure. POLG mutations are the most common cause of inherited ...

You, me, and all of the 108 billion or so Homo sapiens who’ve ever walked the Earth have all been our own constellation of some 30 trillion cells. Each of our bodies is a collective organism of ...

But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors of nutrition. Researchers at UC San Francisco used the gene editing technology ...
