Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most prevalent form of permanent hearing loss, affecting over 6% of the global population, according to the World Health Organization. It results from damage to sensory hair cells ...
Zebrafish have the remarkable and rare ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage. New research from Caltech and UC Berkeley has identified the circuit of genes controlling this ability and offers clues about ...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be harvested from fat and bone marrow, have immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects that are beneficial for both human and veterinary medicine. However, MSCs have a limited ...
The placenta and the hormones it produces may have played a crucial role in the evolution of the human brain, while also leading to the behavioral traits that have made human societies able to thrive and expand, according ...
An engineered enzyme is at the center of a new method to visualize molecular details in human cells, and how these molecules change in cancerous versus benign cells, report Boston College researchers in the journal Cell Chemical ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how cells responsible for hair growth perceive physical forces in their environment and utilize that information to regulate their growth, according to a study published in ...
Scientists at UCLA and the University of Toronto have developed an advanced computational tool, called moPepGen, that helps identify previously invisible genetic mutations in proteins, unlocking new possibilities in cancer ...
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the National Center for Genomic Analysis and the University of Adelaide have created a single-cell RNA analysis method that is 47 times cheaper and more scalable than other ...
The African Space Agency was officially inaugurated in Cairo's Space City in April 2025. The event marked a milestone in a process that had been in the works since the early 2000s. Drawing inspiration from the European Space ...
The stem cell-based embryo model (SCBEM) takes advantage of the flexibility of pluripotent stem cells (non-reproductive cells that can give rise to many different types of cells) to resemble that of embryos. While this model ...
