The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These "warrior" cells work to kill off infected or cancerous cells in what is both a quick yet ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...

Among those causes are gametes that don't function properly, whether that's the sperm, the ova, or a combination of both. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a form of IVG in which the nucleus of ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are ...
