How cancer cells move and metastasize is influenced by the fluids surrounding them – understanding how tumors migrate can help stop their spread
Cell migration, or how cells move in the body, is essential to both normal body function and disease progression. Cell movement is what allows body parts to grow in the right place during early development, wounds to heal and tumors to become metastatic. Over the last century, how researchers understood cell migration was limited to […]

Lab-grown ‘mini placentas’ could hold key to better understanding pre-eclampsia
Lab-grown “mini placentas” could be crucial to better understanding major disorders in pregnancy such as pre-eclampsia, scientists have suggested. Academics said the development of pre-eclampsia can depend on issues with how the placenta develops in the first weeks of pregnancy and “is a process that is incredibly difficult to study”. Using the mini placentas – […]
Why don’t fruit bats get diabetes? New understanding of how they’ve adapted to a high-sugar diet could lead to treatments for people
People around the world eat too much sugar. When the body is unable to process sugar effectively, leading to excess glucose in the blood, this can result in diabetes. According to the World Health Organization, diabetes became the ninth leading cause of death in 2019. Humans are not the only mammals that love sugar. Fruit […]
12 James Webb Space Telescope findings that changed our understanding of the universe in 2023

This year, the space observatory has continued to deliver breathtaking […]
Quantum physics proposes a new way to study biology – and the results could revolutionize our understanding of how life works
Imagine using your cellphone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and disease. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer. But this may one day be a possibility through the emerging field of quantum biology. Over the past few decades, scientists have made incredible […]
