Researchers have shown that the expression of the cell receptor for SARS-CoV-2, ACE2, which is essential for mediating cell entry of the virus, increases in the lungs of aging mice and humans.

Scientists have discovered how to grow a new kind of organoid that mimics how gut and heart tissues arise cooperatively from stem cells.

A pair of new studies describe a “genetic architecture” for developmental stuttering and report the discovery of new genetic variations associated with the condition.

Biological cells have multiple functions, and they need to communicate with each other to coordinate them. Molecules on the cell surface are central to this process. Researchers have now developed a technology that can be used to discover the organization of cell surface molecules.

A study suggests that explaining the value of misshapen vegetables – that they are as healthful as their picture-perfect counterparts and buying them helps reduce food waste – could help improve sales of “ugly” produce.

A machine learning model uses probability to more accurately classify breast cancer shown in histopathology images and evaluate the uncertainty of its predictions.

In a report in Nature, researchers describe the development of a neural network that “hallucinates” proteins with new, stable structures.

Monash University researchers have expanded their knowledge of how T cells might recognize infections or disease, providing key insight into how an often-overlooked T cell lineage becomes activated when encountering pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and cancers.

Many deep learning models don’t understand the entangled relationships between individual objects. Researchers have now developed a model that understands the underlying relationships between objects in a scene.

Researchers at Columbia University identified a specific receptor related to the neurotransmitter dopamine that could be targeted with drugs to help manage pathological aggression.
