Hematopoietic stem cells have been notoriously difficult to grow in a dish, a critical tool in basic research. Scientists have developed a method to keep cultured cells healthy. These findings provide positive news for patients seeking stem cell transplants and may hint at a new way to ward off aging.

The autoimmune disease lupus may be triggered by a defective process in the development of red blood cells (RBCs), according to a recent study. The discovery could lead to new methods for classifying and treating patients with this disease.

A new study reveals that targeting interferon kappa, a protein found in the skin, may reduce the severity of psoriasis. The researchers used a model that mimics psoriasis in mice.

A study suggests that metabolism actually peaks much earlier and starts its inevitable decline later than you might think.

Researchers have identified a new way to measure how much resistance the DNA helix offers when twisted, information that can potentially shed light on how cells work.

A research team has uncovered the role of the RE1 Silencing Transcription Factor gene, critical to boosting the number of insulin-producing cells during the early development of the pancreas.

Scientists have shown that beige fat cells are “indispensable” to the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of subcutaneous fat.

Researchers have analyzed the formation of metachronal waves in cilia and how external cues might influence them using a new model.

Researchers identify two sugar-binding proteins that impede the viral entry of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Researchers reviewed recent scientific literature about the effects of particle contaminants on the mucosal system, an internal membrane that serves as the body’s lubricant and the first line of defense from infections and toxins. These data establish a clear link between exposure to airborne or waterborne particulate matter and several health conditions.
