A pandemic-era breakthrough has allowed scientists to literally expand our view of plankton. By using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, researchers visualized the inner workings of hundreds of ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

New research (the Ver-A-T1D trial) presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) (Vienna, 15-19 September) shows that slow-release (SR) verapamil ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

The tectorial membrane (TM) is a critical component in the auditory system, playing a pivotal role in stimulating hair cells and facilitating sound transmission. Abnormalities in the TM are commonly ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the progression of numerous diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. The ...

Using AI, scientists have built a “GPS” for cancer-fighting immune cells. It’s a molecular navigation system that helped the cells lock onto cancer, kind of like Google Maps guiding travelers to a new ...

The brain’s cerebellum plays a key role in coordinating movement, balance, and cognition. Injury to the cerebellum can have a profound impact on basic motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and ...

Zimislecel is an allogeneic stem cell–derived islet-cell therapy. Data on the safety and efficacy of zimislecel in persons with type 1 diabetes are needed. We conducted a phase 1–2 study of zimislecel ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...
