Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly – in extreme cases, they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers have developed a method that speeds up the healing process, making wounds heal three times faster.

Research reveals a promising stem cell approach to correct photoreceptor cell degeneration, which underlies several forms of visual decline and blindness.

Scientists showed how prime editing can correct mutations that cause sickle cell disease in a potentially curative approach.

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland identified 12 different cell types involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease.

New work from researchers at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine shows how memory T cells, crucial for a vaccine that induces a powerful immune response, can be recruited into the liver in a mouse model of Salmonella.

Researchers have resolved a long-standing debate by identifying how embryos detect flowing fluid to develop the left and right sides differently.
