We’re born, we live, and we die but new studies exploring the phenomenon of dead cells taking on new functions after death, also known as the “third state,” is complicating that picture. In a research ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

Human blood stem cells have been made in a laboratory for the first time, which could significantly improve how we treat certain types of cancer. The lab-grown cells have so far only been tested in ...

A fusiform aneurysm causes the artery to bulge or balloon on all sides. This type is less common than a saccular aneurysm, which causes a bulge on one side of the artery. An aneurysm is a weakness in ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have figured out how to turn ordinary white fat cells, which store calories, into beige fat cells that burn calories to maintain body temperature. The discovery in mice ...
