Age-related changes in blood stem cells are linked to decreased platelet factor 4, marking a critical finding for treating immune aging.

MIT scientists have overturned the belief that genome structure vanishes during cell division. Using high-resolution genome mapping, they found that small 3D DNA loops, or “microcompartments,” persist and even strengthen during mitosis.

Discover how human nasal organoids reveal bacterial interactions in noses, influencing immune responses and health.

New research has developed a brain organoid model to study lissencephaly, a rare genetic disorder.

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and Rab10, direct supplies to where they are needed.

Research on bacteriophages in the human gut reveals their dormant nature and potential to impact gut microbiome health significantly.

Two new studies from Mount Sinai’s Living Brain Project reveal that living human brain tissue shows major molecular differences compared to postmortem samples, the current research standard.

A recent study by researchers from the University of Fukui and Hiroshima University in Japan shows that child maltreatment leaves measurable biological “scars” on children’s DNA.

New findings in chronic kidney disease research highlight mitochondrial DNA mutations as a key factor in kidney health decline.

Researchers have identified that mutations in the CPD gene are a key factor in a rare type of congenital hearing loss.
