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…
T cells play a huge role in our immune system’s fight against modified cells in the body that can develop into cancer. Phagocytes and B…
Researchers from UNIGE and HUG were able to demonstrate the link between disturbances of the circadian clocks in pancreatic cells and type 2 diabetes, then…

The type of salamander called axolotl, with its frilly gills and widely spaced eyes, looks like an alien and has other-worldly powers of regeneration. Lose…
Brain iron levels increase during development; may influence cognitive abilities. Iron levels in brain tissue rise during development and are correlated with cognitive abilities, according…
Many cells are covered with mysterious large holes, pores that have been associated with the sense of taste as well as Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and…
Machine learning Earth system model projects higher numbers in low-latitude regions. A neural network-driven Earth system model has led University of California, Irvine (UCI) oceanographers…
A combination of two previously studied osteoarthritis drugs works better than either drug alone. People with osteoarthritis, or “wear and tear” arthritis, have limited treatment…
A CALCR cell found in mice may stop feeding without subsequential nauseating effects as well as influence the long term intake of food. Ever eaten…
