Human egg cells, called oocytes, have to last a long time. They are created before birth, and if they are healthy, they stay viable for many years before they might be fertilized. New research has ...

Researchers are shining a light on cancer cells' energy centers—literally—to damage these power sources and trigger ...

Investigators have discovered that tumor cells use mitochondria to control their growth and detect stress that can destroy a tumor cell if it is not controlled. Hormone therapy is often used to treat ...
