Researchers have identified a new approach to triggering differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The team identified an enzyme that regulates the differentiation of AML cells. Inhibiting this enzyme prompted AML cells to lose aspects of their identity associated with aggressive growth.

Across the world, several million people every year suffer from spinal cord injury. Now, researchers have used a new technique to create 3D scaffolds that can guide regenerating neurons in the right direction.

According to a study, male animals are subject to stronger selection pressures than females, which may allow populations to adapt to environmental change more efficiently.

A new study has confirmed a link between altered DNA repair and increased DNA damage associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 7, a debilitating and sometimes deadly neurodegenerative condition causing movement disorders.

Combining knowledge of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering, scientists from McGill University develop a biomaterial tough enough to repair the heart, muscles and vocal cords, representing a major advance in regenerative medicine.

The method produces genetically corrected autologous pluripotent stem cells from a 2-3 mm skin biopsy from patients with different genetic diseases. The corrected stem cells are essential in the research and for the development of new therapies for the diseases in question.

A new study demonstrates how barcoding tools can be used to identify and track communication signals among cells.

Researchers report they have genetically mapped the cell types that make up the mouse iris. The research reveals four new cell types in the iris, maps the genetic changes that occur when the iris dilates and provides information about its formation.

New research suggests that effective wound healing may be aided by replicating platelet-rich plasma, a crucial component of our blood.

Measuring the variability of thickness within thousands of cells per minute spots physical signs of cancer and carcinogenic exposure.
