A new atlas of tissue-resident memory T cells offers hope for therapies based on protective "first responders".

HIV has an “early and substantial” impact on aging in infected people, accelerating biological changes in the body associated with normal aging within just two to three years of infection, according to a new study.

Sencescent or zombie cells have lost their ability to divide, but remain otherwise functional, acting as drivers of dementia, cardiovascular disease and cancer. New research has revealed how zombie cells are formed, pointing towards therapeutics that could minimize their impact on our healthy lifespan.

A joint research group has developed a robotic artificial intelligence system for autonomously determining the optimal conditions for growing replacement retina layers necessary for vision.

Researchers have discovered that an existing cancer drug could have potential as a treatment for muscular dystrophy.

Scientists have now discovered that certain modifications in mitochondrial RNA boost the invasive spread of cancer cells by supporting protein synthesis in mitochondria.

Researchers have used brain organoids to discover fundamental similarities between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and Rett syndrome.

A class of viruses known to cause severe diarrheal diseases – including the one famous for widespread outbreaks on cruise ships – can grow in the salivary glands of mice and spread through their saliva, scientists have discovered.

Researchers have shown how AKT and NMD – two of the main drivers of fragile X syndrome – interact, highlighting a complex molecular interaction that could inform the development of future treatments for fragile X syndrome.

Nearly all fishes possess a tiny anatomical structure called a “pseudobranch,” which resembles a vestigial gill and according to research, this structure originates from the same mandibular arch that gives rise to the jaw.
