Dec. 8, 2022 —Researchers have identified the cellular mechanism and molecular trajectory for the formation of adult pluripotent stem cells in the acoel worm, Hofstenia ...
July 22, 2022 —A new study suggests that stem cells are able to integrate cues from their surroundings and coordinate their behavior across tissue through networks of vasculature in their close ...
July 20, 2023 —Gastrulation, the process where an embryo reorganizes itself from a hollow sphere into a multilayered structure, is considered a 'black box' of human development. This is because human embryos are typically not cultured for longer than 14 days ...
July 19, 2023 —人合同COVID-19但从未开发信谊ptoms -- the so-called super dodgers -- may have a genetic ace up their sleeve. They're more than twice as likely as those who become symptomatic to carry a specific gene variation that helps them obliterate the virus, according to a new ...
July 12, 2023 —For the first time, a person with an arm amputation can manipulate each finger of a bionic hand as if it was his own. Thanks to revolutionary surgical and engineering advancements that seamlessly merge humans with machines, this breakthrough offers ...
May 24, 2023 —Engineers have designed a new class of 'microrobots' several times smaller than the width of a human hair that may be able to treat human illnesses like interstitial cystitis -- a painful bladder disease that affects millions of ...
July 28, 2023 —Originally, the powerhouses of higher cells, the mitochondria, were independent organisms. Researchers have investigated to what extent their metabolism has blended with that of their host cells in ...
July 28, 2023 —New Alzheimer's research suggests that enhanced light sensitivity may contribute to 'sundowning' -- the worsening of symptoms late in the day -- ...
July 28, 2023 —A medical therapy that inhibits the growth of cancer cells may one day be effective at treating Lyme disease, according to new research ...
July 28, 2023 —A metabolic by-product that is more prevalent during fasting may supercharge immune cells as they fight infection and disease, reports an early stage study. The findings may pave the way for future ...
July 27, 2023 —Scientists identified the region where a protein regulates sodium ion channels, inserting the channel's genetic material into a virus to alleviate pain in cell and animal ...
July 27, 2023 —A study suggests that adolescents who engage in active school transport and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers. Regular leisure-time physical ...
July 27, 2023 —A gene encoding a protein linked to tau production -- tripartite motif protein 11 (TRIM11) -- was found to suppress deterioration in small animal ...
July 27, 2023 —Early genetic testing can improve cancer outcomes, but individuals often don't undergo this screening if they lack a family history or can't afford a ...
July 28, 2023 —Scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to create a 3D 'scaffold' to grow cells from the retina -- paving the way for potential new ways of treating a common cause of ...
