Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...

“This is an early but exciting step toward recharging aging tissues using their own biological machinery,” Gaharwar says in the release. “If we can safely boost this natural power-sharing system, it ...

Glioblastoma is the most prevalent and aggressive brain tumor. It proliferates very rapidly, is highly invasive, and there is ...

A new electronic implant system can help lab-grown pancreatic cells mature and function properly, potentially providing a basis for novel, cell-based therapies for diabetes. The approach, developed by ...

In a step toward making ultra-bright X-ray sources more widely available, an international collaboration led by the University of Michigan—with experiments at the U.K.'s Central Laser Facility—has ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly simple “tissue code”: five rules that choreograph when, where, and how cells divide, move, and die, allowing organs like the colon to remain flawlessly ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may ...

UC labs are developing new treatments that don’t just prevent damage from getting worse, but — for the first time in medical ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, ...

Weight loss is known to improve health in obesity. A new study provides clues to how: by rejuvenating fat tissue and changing fat cells' metabolism. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
