Osteocytes, the most abundant cells in bone tissue, have long been underestimated in their functional capacity. Traditionally viewed as passive entities, recent research has illuminated their pivotal ...
During pregnancy, maternal and fetal cells migrate back and forth across the placenta, with fetal cells entering the mother's ...
For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...
Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting (“infantile ...
In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...
Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.
New scientific methods could one day render animal studies—the standard in research laboratories for more than 100 ...
The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...
It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about the behavior or nature and evolution. Now, USC researchers want to add a ...
A recently released cache of surveillance video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City is raising new questions about the prison cameras at the facility where Jeffrey Epstein died ...
How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...
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, ...
