Cancer cells transfer mitochondria through nanotubes to healthy neighboring cells, turning them into tumor-supporting accomplices, a new study shows.

These injected mitochondria change the overall complex of genes expressed in the recipient cells. They also induce the ...

Scientists discovered a novel process, called cathartocytosis, where stomach cells “vomit” out their contents to quickly shrink and repair damaged tissue.

Leuven, 11 March 2025 – Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center ...

The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, ...

New research shows it's possible to reprogram skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab, though it's just a ...

Scientists describe the technique as an early proof of concept and say it could take at least a decade of further research ...
