Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

A light-activated enzyme morphed round starfish egg cells into different shapes. This technology could one day be useful for wound healing therapies. When Fakhri first worked with in vitro cellular ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A similar cell shape also ...

Stem cells are the body's ultimate shape-shifters, sustaining tissues by balancing two competing demands: maintaining their ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds—with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals.
