Student researchers have discovered human microRNA genes not shared with any other primate species.

A newly proposed technique enables rapid 3D image acquisition using an elongated light spot that resembles a "needle" to capture 3D images of a specimen.

The mechanical stress on cancer cells as they migrate through small spaces increases cell death resistance and makes the cells more mobile.

A new heart model created by growing thin slices of pig heart tissue can be activated in a way that replicates a heart attack, reproducing results previously seen in live animals, therefore potentially reducing the reliance on animal models.

Astrocytes form large networks of interconnected cells in the central nervous system. When these cell-to-cell couplings are disrupted in the brain of adult mice, the animals are no longer able to store spatial information.

Research has uncovered new details about how immune system cells respond to disease-causing bacteria, fungi and viruses such as SARS-CoV-2.

Aging is associated with increased oxidative stress, glutathione deficiency and mitochondrial dysfunction. Supplementation with a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine can increase lifespan and reduce the hallmarks of aging in mice.

By employing artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to formulate therapeutic proteins, a team led by Rutgers researchers has successfully stabilized an enzyme able to degrade scar tissue resulting from spinal cord injuries and promote tissue regeneration.

Researchers have made tiny "skyscrapers" for communities of bacteria, helping them to generate electricity from just sunlight and water.

According to research, human immune cells not only circulate in the blood, but can also occupy certain tissues and sometimes remain there for years.
