Why do cells, and by extension humans, age? The answer may have a lot to do with mitochondria, the organelles that supply cells with energy. Though that idea is not new, direct evidence in human cells had been lacking. Until now.

Targeting iron metabolism in immune system cells may offer a new approach for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of the chronic autoimmune disease lupus.

Chemicals that accumulate in the vagina, potentially originating from personal care products, may contribute to spontaneous preterm birth, according to a new study.

Scientists have used paleogenomics to trace 10,000 years of human immune system evolution. They analyzed the genomes of more than 2,800 individuals who lived in Europe over the past ten millennia.

Existing flow battery technologies are too expensive for practical application, but researchers have now developed a more compact flow battery cell configuration that reduces the size of the cell by 75%, and therefore reduces the size and cost of the entire flow battery.

By culturing human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons on coatings with "dancing molecules", researchers created mature neurons that demonstrated enhanced synaptic signaling, improved survival rates and did not clump together.

Machine learning models have been used to improve how we calculate how much fine particulate matter from vehicles is present in urban pollution.

A new study led by Cedars-Sinai and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), has determined that altering a cellular process can lead stem cells to die or regenerate.

A new study has shown that there is a strong link between what we eat as babies and young children, and our food preferences as adults.

Dogs walked every day by their owners are less aggressive. Dogs owned by women bark less at strangers. Heavier dogs tend to be less disobedient than lighter pets. Pugs, Bulldogs, Shih Tzus and other short-snouted breeds may be more badly behaved than medium- and long-snouted dogs, such as Golden Retrievers or the caramel-colored mixed-breed dogs popular in Brazil.
