Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Scientists identified a gene switch that helps immune cells fully mature, allowing them to clean up tissues and keep our organs healthy.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a game plan, and coordinate their defenses in lymphoid organs. Researchers have ...

Researchers at the Cancer Research Institute and the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in ...

Last November, the UK government announced a bold plan to phase out animal testing in some areas of research. Animal tests for skin irritation are scheduled for elimination this year, and some studies ...

Modern medicine has begun to recognize that the placenta can have significant medical and scientific value even after childbirth.

Hair regrowth treatment may soon take a major leap forward, as researchers in a recent study have successfully grown complete ...

MIT engineers have developed injectable "satellite livers" made from liver cells and hydrogel microspheres. In animal tests, these mini tissue grafts survived for weeks and produced essential proteins ...

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) represents a highly prevalent condition among women, particularly following childbirth and during aging, with recurrence rates following surgical intervention posing ...
