DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

The aging brains of people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases are suffused with telltale aggregates of proteins in or around their neurons. How these protein clumps ...

Although visible signs of aging are usually unmistakable, unraveling what triggers them has been quite a challenge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have ...

Depression is thought to affect over 250 million people around the world. It is a condition that is difficult to treat because there is still a lot we don’t know about why it happens at the biological ...

PD-1 blocking treatment may convert TAMs from tumor-promoting to tumor-fighting, improving outcomes in metastatic clear cell kidney cancer. Higher levels of CD163-positive TAMs are linked to better ...

The gastrointestinal tract is the biggest immune organ in mammals. The gut extends its influence all over the body through various links like the gut-liver axis, the gut-lung axis, and the gut-brain ...

Researchers have discovered that aggressive tumors contain highly active cells that move throughout tissue in complicated patterns. What's more, the accumulations of these elongated, spindle-like ...

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers have shown in a new study how activity of "good" microbes in the gut is linked to ...

T cells are an essential player in the immune system and have been integral to recovering from severe COVID-19 infection. However, some T cells may be more helpful than others. New research led by ...

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that plays a key role in this protection is the microfold cell, or M cell.

The subtype of brain cells that die in Parkinson’s disease has been discovered using a new technique that can identify which genes are active in individual cells. We have known for decades that ...

Take a look at your mother and you see a bit of yourself in her. Thing is you really are seeing a bit of yourself in her because she is home to some of your cells. They have been living as part of her ...
