Researchers have discovered that sensory neurons play a role in pigmentation by helping to modulate a number of features of human melanocytes.

A mutation to a microprotein named SHMOOSE has been associated with a 20-50% higher risk for Alzheimer's disease, presenting a potential new avenue for treatment.

Scientists have shown that high-fat diets can cause rapid changes in the bone marrow of mice, driving the production of inflammatory immune cells.

In a murine study, weekly treatments with an epigenetic activator aided the regrowth of sensory and motor neurons in the spinal cord when given 12 weeks after severe injury.

The control of RNA metabolism is crucial to the regulation of animal longevity, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne have now discovered.

Researchers have used the highly regenerative zebrafish to investigate the timing and genetic programs of macrophages, a type of white blood cell, in the repair and regeneration of a zebrafish sensory organ.

A new bioprinting technology has been developed that allows the possibility of creating engineered organs bigger than the previous size limit.

A study has identified 69 genetic variants associated with the ability to move in synchrony with the beat of music.

Researchers have transferred the RNA editing system from moss into human cells and surprisingly, the machinery still works, finding over 900 targets for editing in human transcripts.

A team from Geneva, Switzerland, shows that the disruption of lipid temporal profiles in type 2 diabetes stiffens the membrane of pancreatic endocrine cells, which could alter their function.
