Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Stem cells possess unique capabilities in contemporary medicine. Stem cells have the potential to develop various cell types, ...

Sickle cell disease—the subject of a new Seminar in The Lancet—is one of the most prevalent and fastest-growing genetic disorders worldwide. Although its true prevalence is difficult to determine ...

Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes, which enables scientists to use them to study disease. The trouble is they never do it the same way twice, which has made ...

Macrophages are central to mechanobiology research: their physical characteristics-stiffness, adhesion, and ECM (extracellular matrix) sensing-are inextricably linked to their phenotypic polarization ...

Using mouse incisor models, researchers reveal how coordinated cell movements form crack-resistant enamel in teeth ...

Hair is pretty tricky. Unlike almost every other organ in the human body, which finishes its development in the womb, the ...

Cellular injury entails disruptions in a cell's structure or function triggered by factors such as physical trauma, chemical exposure, infectious agents, and oxidative stress. These alterations may ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

Rotator cuff tears often heal with stiff, dysfunctional scar tissue, limiting recovery. A new study reveals why tendon ...

A newly discovered gene switch may help turn chemotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer into a treatable disease.
