Nov. 22, 2023 — Trans-vaccenic acid (TVA), a long-chain fatty acid found in meat and dairy products from grazing animals such as cows and sheep, improves the ability of CD8+ T cells to infiltrate tumors and kill ...
Nov. 17, 2023 — Researchers have shown for the first time that hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells where it binds oxygen, is also present in the epidermis, our skin's outermost body tissue. The study ...
Nov. 17, 2023 — If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are ...
Nov. 16, 2023 — Researchers have discovered a 'genomic tug of war' in animal studies that could influence how well certain patients -- or certain cancers -- respond to decitabine, a drug used to treat ...
Nov. 16, 2023 — A new theoretical model helps explain how epigenetic memories, encoded in chemical modifications of chromatin, are passed from generation to generation. Within each cell's nucleus, researchers ...
Nov. 16, 2023 — Researchers have discovered that 'cell competition' following gene therapy results in the accumulation of stem cells with genetic mutations which make them grow faster. Some of these ...
Nov. 16, 2023 — A new study finds that microglia with mutant TREM2 protein reduce brain circuit connections, promote inflammation and contribute to Alzheimer's pathology in other ...
Nov. 16, 2023 — Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects neurons in the brain and spinal cord causing loss of muscle control. Scientists have now suggested a potential ...
Nov. 16, 2023 — Researchers reveal that vitamin B12 significantly boosts the efficiency of cellular reprogramming, thus holding promise for regenerative medicine. Vitamin B12 supplementation shows potential in ...
Nov. 16, 2023 — Investigators have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on epigenetic factors that is able to predict patient outcomes successfully across multiple cancer ...
Nov. 15, 2023 — Medical researchers have learned more about an enzyme found to be overly expressed in patients with hereditary breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate ...
Nov. 15, 2023 — Scientists mapped the gene regulatory networks responsible for progressive differentiation states of tumor-infiltrating T cells, using a technology known as single-cell CRISPR screening to knock out ...
Nov. 15, 2023 — Researchers discover how ribosomes contribute to the recognition and removal of RNA crosslinking ...
Nov. 15, 2023 — Scientists have 3D-printed hair follicles in human skin tissue cultured in the lab. This marks the first time researchers have used the technology to generate hair follicles, which play an important ...
Nov. 14, 2023 — Exposure to ultrafine particles from traffic alters the expression of many genes in human olfactory mucosa cells, a new study shows. The study is the first to combine an analysis of emissions from ...
Nov. 14, 2023 — A study of newly created databases of medulloblastoma has found that patients with tumors containing circular extrachromosomal DNA -- loops of DNA found outside of regular chromosomes -- are twice as ...
Nov. 13, 2023 — An international team of researchers has developed a handheld, non-invasive device that can detect biomarkers for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases. The biosensor can also transmit the ...
Nov. 13, 2023 — Fasting interventions, which involve alternating periods of fasting and refeeding, are generally thought to improve health. But these interventions don't work as well in old animals. The ...
Nov. 13, 2023 — For years, researchers and clinicians have known that lupus, an autoimmune condition, occurs in women at a rate nine times higher than in men. Some of the factors that cause the disease's high ...
Nov. 9, 2023 — Researchers have adapted CRISPR technologies for high-throughput screening of gene function in human immune cells and discovered that a single master regulator of the genome can be used to reprogram ...
