Humans have about 350 different types of olfactory receptors in the nose, which detect odours and start a signalling process that then messages the brain. These receptors work together to give us a sense…
Humans have some regenerative abilities but compared to creatures like the salamander, which has an amazing ability to regenerate after injury, we’re pretty limited. Not only are salamanders the only adult…
Growth states of cancer cells can now be visualised in real time, thanks to a new 3D model of a melanoma tumour developed…
Cell growth has been given another dimension as researchers learn to measure and classify the shapes cells take in different…
Mammals display an incredible diversity in size. The largest mammal, the blue whale, can grow up to 30m long and weigh up to 200 tonnes. Now compare that to the Bumblebee bat, which is 3cm long and weighs…
Technology adapted from inkjet printers could soon be used to print living human cells onto biodegradable polymer scaffolds…
By breaking a biological signalling system in the cells of embryos, scientists have discovered a way to change a cell’s destiny…
More than 60 years of scientific thought has been contradicted in a new study examining Columbine flowers. The flowers…
An important cog in the molecular machinery of plant immunity discovered by researchers could help ensure food security…
Every year at the beginning of October, a frisson runs through the global medical research community. Who will win the greatest lottery of them all, the Nobel Prize for Medicine? In a cynical and sceptical…
Most people only think about their liver when recovering from a big night of drinking when it’s busily producing enzymes to break down the alcohol. But this “factory” of the body is vital for survival…
We’ve known for a while that human cells “talk” to one another, but new research has found thy know when to shut up, too…
New research shows salmonella bacteria have modified, attacking the protein-building process to sustain its capacity to create…
For the first time, scientists have seen how the “front line troops” in the human body’s immune system work, debunking previous thinking on the topic and opening up new possibilities for treatment of auto-immune…
An advanced form of electricity-conducting plastic might be set to revolutionise the way cell regrowth is facilitated. Animal…
