Iron is essential. Our cells need it to produce energy, carry oxygen throughout the body and power countless chemical reactions that sustain life. But this metal has a dark side. When too much of it ...

Live-cell analysis revealed a striking inverse correlation between intracellular polyamine levels and redox-active iron at ...

Small cell lung cancer, or SCLC, is fraught with challenges. Patients are often diagnosed late so outcomes are poor; therapeutic advances have stalled due to lackluster funding and the disease, ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a miniature microscope that allows scientists to observe and activate individual brain cells ...

Scientists often describe life as a series of chemical reactions. Pallav Kosuri, Ph.D., describes life as movement. Chemical ...

Over a decade ago, scientists redefined how to study organ development by generating seemingly unremarkable clumps of cells. They dubbed them organoids: organ-like microstructures produced using stem ...

Within the brain, neurons compute by generating electrical impulses. These signals travel throughout neurons, which are in turn connected in vast networks that control brain functions such as sensory ...

Researchers have used a transition metal compound to create a nanoplatform that can enter breast cancer cells and destroy them by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), when exposed to red light 1.
