This past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to believe what can fit in a year. Yet as we say goodbye to 2025, we want to take ...

Cancer cells that accumulate extra copies of their entire chromosome set can start behaving like immune cells, swallowing ...

As we age, stem cells responsible for maintaining our blood and immune systems gradually lose their resilience, but why this happens has remained unclear. A novel study from Japan and the US turns the ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...
