The genetic quest to understand COVID-19 will help us prevent other diseases. How the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 made the leap from animals…
Growth of an Organism Rides on a Pattern of Waves Study shows ripples across a newly fertilized egg are similar to other systems, from ocean…
For the first time, scientists from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and collaborators have described the structure of an endogenously sourced, functioning neuronal amyloid…
Researchers harness photolithography and programmable DNA to rapidly construct arrays of cells and proteins that mimic living conditions. Like humans, cells can be easily influenced…
Blood Stem Cells Boost Immunity by Keeping a Record of Previous Infections These findings should have a significant impact on future vaccination strategies and pave…
University of California San Diego researchers discovered the enzyme SPRK1’s role in reorganizing the paternal genome during the first moments of fertilization — a finding…
Stanford Scientists Discover the Mathematical Rules Underpinning Brain Growth Using microscopy and mathematics, researchers have discovered the invisible pattern that growing neurons follow to form…
Researchers from the group of Hans Clevers have developed a new genetic tool to label specific genes in human organoids, or mini organs. They used…
An international team of scientists have discovered a new material that can be 3D printed to create tissue-like vascular structures. In a new study published…
Canadian scientists take one step closer to a better understanding of Batten disease. Professor Stéphane Lefrançois, a researcher at the Institut National de la Recherche…
The shape and growth of plant cells may not rely on increased fluidic pressure, or turgor, inside the cell as previously believed. Rather, a new…
Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have identified a rare, new cell in the immune system with “Jekyll and Hyde properties.” These cells play a key…
Changes within enamel cells point to mechanism by which excessive fluoride leads to fluorosis. Exposing teeth to excessive fluoride alters calcium signaling, mitochondrial function, and…
The cells under Sanford M. Simon‘s microscope could easily be mistaken for neurons—they sport the characteristic long branches, and blips of light indicating bursts of…
Mutations in 38 different types of cancer have been mapped by means of whole genome analysis by an international team of researchers from, amongst others,…
Columbia-led team harnesses two powerful technologies to identify promising targets for diagnosing and treating neurodegenerative diseases. The protein tau has long been implicated in Alzheimer’s…
Researchers at Albany Medical College in New York have discovered that a specific type of immune cell accumulates in older brains, and that activating these…
A team of researchers in Canada have successfully trialed a new handheld 3D skin printer, which treats severe burns by ‘printing’ new skins cells directly…
