According to research, starving cancer cells of arginine could make tumors more vulnerable to the body’s natural immune response.

Researchers have identified a cellular pathway that keeps Ebola virus from exiting human cells, with implications for developing new antivirals.

In a world first, scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School, the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) and colleagues in Germany have shown that regenerative therapy to restore impaired kidney function may soon be a possibility.

Researchers have been able to reveal how brain cells change in relation to key proteins during Alzheimer's disease progression, using a new mapping technique.

A new study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has found that human-derived brain organoids can integrate into the visual cortex of rat brains. After three months, the organoids demonstrate electrical responses to visual stimuli. The research is published in Cell Stem Cell.

New research has suggested that rejuvenating an older person’s blood stem cells may now be within reach.

The molecular switch responsible for "turning on" genes in early embryos has been identified in new research, and many of the trigger suspects are cancer-associated genes.

Organoids that mimic the physiology and function of the cochlea have been developed, opening doors to a better understanding of – and potential treatments for – hearing loss.

The atlas is the largest study of single cells from Crohn’s patients to date, and contains the gene expression profiles of more than 700,000 cells from 71 healthy individuals and patients in varying states of inflammation.
