Scientists have found that the immune response to a virus that is ubiquitously present in human tissues can detect and eliminate senescent cells in the skin, a process that could restore tissue balance and lead to an increased healthy lifespan.

Researchers have discovered that a subset of T cells secrete acetylcholine, which helps to regulate blood pressure and inflammation.

Researchers have developed a platform that improves accuracy, throughput and stability in profiling the dynamic metabolic features of cells.

A study conducted at the University of São Paulo’s Biomedical Sciences Institute helps understand at the cellular level how physical activity contributes to fitness during the aging process.

Scientists have recently designed an advanced pancreatic tumor model which more accurately depicts PDAC tumor progression and can test the effects of its stiff, fibrous matrix on pancreatic tissue fibrosis.

Researchers have identified a compound already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that keeps light-sensitive photoreceptors alive in three models of an inherited disease that often results in severe visual impairment or blindness in early childhood.

The process of cellular differentiation, in which human pluripotent stem cells progress from primitive to developmentally advanced states, is a fundamental aspect of life. The core differentiation mechanism was recently identified by researchers.

A mouse study has identified an intricate molecular process that appears to play a critical role in memory consolidation.

Scientists in Japan have discovered that Tim4, a receptor that recognizes apoptotic cells, facilitates the interaction between microplastics and macrophages and may hamper an important cellular process called efferocytosis.

Researchers have developed a method to measure coral biodiversity by extracting the environmental DNA from a liter of surface seawater collected from above a reef.
