Sneaky parasite evades the human immune system by stripping cells and wearing them as a disguise Parasites are known to infect human cells through a variety of ingenious mechanisms. Many of them ...

CAST systems aren’t found in humans, and when used in human cell cultures they produce a successful DNA insertion only 0.1% of the time—far too low for gene therapy purposes.

To settle lingering health fears, scientists blasted human skin cells with intense 5G signals to see if the radiation does any damage.

Science Biology This parasite rips apart human cells and wears them as disguises E. histolytica kills at least 50,000 people every year. Microbiologists have a battle plan. By Andrew Paul ...

The single-celled parasite Entamoeba histolytica infects 50 million people each year, killing nearly 70,000. Usually, this wily, shape-shifting amoeba causes nothing worse than diarrhea. But sometimes ...

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the integrity of this vast store of information. They constantly untangle ...
