How to Study Aging Cell by Computational Biology

Aging is an imminent process for both the cells and the organism. Aging is the natural way to death. Aging cells are critical for the aging of the individual. We still do not know how aging takes place to the cell or how the aging of the [...]

Mystery of how plutonium enters cells solved

It's been known for years that once plutonium is ingested it remains in the body for a long time, but what no one knew was how the plutonium is absorbed. Now, US scientists have found a cellular uptake pathway for plutonium, confirmin [...]

Stem cells, pigs and replacement organs

Scientists in Japan have reported the production of mice that have rat's organs. They suggest one day this technique could be used to grow spare human organs in another species such as pigs, easing organ shortages and reducing long wa [...]

Watch cells come alive

Every living organism depends upon cells to function normally. In our own body, it is estimated that there are 75 to 100 trillion cells. The study of these cells is called cytology which is the very foundation of the study of biology. Amo [...]

Laser is produced by a living cell

The technique starts by engineering a cell that can produce a light-emitting protein that was first obtained from glowing jellyfish. Flooding the resulting cells with weak blue light causes them to emit directed, green laser light. The wo [...]
