Reprogrammed fat cells support tumor growth
Mutations of the tumor suppressor p53 not only have a growth-promoting effect on the cancer cells themselves, but also influence the cells in the tumor's microenvironment. Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Weizmann Institute in Israel have now shown that p53-mutated mouse breast cancer cells reprogram fat cells. The manipulated fat
Brain cells that tell mice it’s time to eat may also be in people
Health People may have brain cells that make us want breakfast, lunch and dinner at around the same time each day - regardless of how large our last meal was By Clare Wilson The activity of certain neurons in the brain may determine when we feel hungryRost-9D/Getty Images A group of brain cells in mice
Solar cells for IoT devices with AI-powered energy management
As the number of Internet of Things devices is rapidly increasing, there is an urgent need for sustainable and efficient energy sources and management practices in ambient environments. In response, Newcastle University researchers have created environmentally friendly, high-efficiency photovoltaic cells that harness ambient light to power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The research team from

Artificial Cells With Lifelike Functionality – New Breakthrough Brings Scientists One Step Closer
The study makes major advances in the use of synthetic cells, or protocells, to more precisely mimic the intricate composition, structure, and function of living cells.The study uses bacteria to bring scientists closer to building these artificial lifelike cells.Researchers have used bacteria to help develop advanced synthetic cells that imitate the real-life functionality of cells.The
Foamy cells inspire better way to predict heart attacks
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A heart attack or stroke can blindside people who thought they were at low risk. Now, research led by UConn Health has found a new model that could improve how we assess heart disease. The study is published in the January 18 issue of Circulation. Heart attacks and strokes are the…

The latest is Cells at Work! Illegal (Hataraku Saibou Illegal), which is set to launch on the YanMaga website on February…
Scientists analyzed how T cells attack cancer cells in real-time
Immuno-oncology, a promising new field of research, has been proven effective in treating certain types of cancer. Considering this, scientists are now testing an array of molecules to expand the range of potential applications. These tests often require several instruments, which perform individual and specific analyses. However, the measurements taken by these instruments indirectly indicate…
Power of stem cells harnessed to create cartilage tissue
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers at the University of Southampton have invented a new way to generate human cartilage tissue from stem cells. The technique could pave the way for the development of a much-needed new treatment for people with cartilage damage. Cartilage acts as a shock absorber in joints, but it is susceptible to…
