Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they have roots that anchor them firmly ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

When we think of death, we imagine a final, irreversible end. But what if death is not as absolute as it seems? What if some parts of us — our cells, our tissues — continue to fight for survival, even ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

A novel 3D cell culture method has been developed that encourages liver progenitor cells to self-organize and form blood vessel networks for the first time. The development of accurate liver organoids ...

Short-term IF boosts glucose homeostasis, but prolonged fasting in adolescence may impair β cell maturation—potentially linking chronic IF to type 1 diabetes risk. Study: Chronic intermittent fasting ...

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment, to know when to activate genes, build proteins, and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how ...
