CRISPR gene therapy Casgevy can nearly eliminate sickle cell crises, but difficult stem‑cell collection is delaying access ...
A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.
Graham Johnson, a computational biologist and scientific illustrator at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, recalls fantasizing at a lunch table, more than 15 years ago, about a computer model of a ...
A newly discovered visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae is reshaping long-held assumptions about how vertebrates see the world.
A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...
Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
Hairy-cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare, indolent neoplasm of mature B cells with hairlike surface projections that circulate in the blood and preferentially infiltrate the bone marrow and spleen. The ...
Sickle cell disease (SCD) makes red blood cells rigid and sickle-shaped, which can block blood flow. This can cause pain crises, infections, and other serious complications. Medications are often the ...
