Research provides insights into the pathways that increase or decrease the bone marrow’s output of immune cells that can help or harm the heart.

Liquid biopsy performed on serum samples taken from breast cancer patients can provide increasingly accurate information on cancer progression and enable earlier detection of cancer recurrence.

A transcriptome-wide study of the airway has shown that the gene expression pattern in airway epithelial cells mediates the genetic risk of asthma.

A study in killifishes, an animal model for aging, has shown that older fish have different types and a lower diversity of circulating antibodies.

Researchers discovered how one part of RNA smoothly invades and displaces another part of the same RNA, enabling the structure to rapidly and dramatically change shape. Called “strand displacement,” this mechanism appears to switch genetic expression from “on” to “off.”

UConn Health researchers how deleting a protein could prevent fat-filled macrophages narrowing blood vessels and causing heart disease.

A new study found that the cells of humans and animals who have recovered from tuberculosis had prematurely aged up to 12 to 14 years.

University of Notre Dame researchers have discovered another way tumor cells transfer genetic material to other cells in their microenvironment, causing cancer to spread.

An obscure species of wild grass contains “blockbuster” disease resistance that can be cross bred into wheat to give immunity against one of the deadliest crop pathogens.

Observational research has suggested that light alcohol consumption may provide heart-related health benefits, but in a large study alcohol intake at all levels was linked with higher risks of cardiovascular disease.
