Researchers are learning how to refill the energy reserves of aging human cells, turning a long-standing metaphor about “cellular batteries” into a literal engineering challenge. By training healthy ...

Scientists suggest death may not be biologically final at the cellular level. Research shows cells can enter a “third state of life,” remaining active and reorganizing after an organism dies. Studies ...
