How do stem cells in the intestine maintain the right number of dividing and non-dividing cells?

Taxonium, a new web tool, allows scientists to explore large phylogenetic trees of SARS-CoV-2 and beyond.

New, multifactor approaches are needed to identify which animal species are more likely to be infected with and spread SARS-CoV-2.

Loss of osteocytes, the predominant cells in mature bone, leads to faster aging in surrounding bone and bone marrow cells.

Fruit fly larvae have specialized nerve cells that can sense local poking, helping them to escape the pointy sting of a wasp.

Understanding the cells that support bone marrow cancer may lead to new ways to treat the disease.

Super-resolution microscopy sheds light on how the proteins that organize the overall structure of many animal cells are themselves organized at a smaller scale.

Heart regeneration in mice after injury can be kick-started by reducing the activity of the mRNA-modifying enzyme Mettl3.
