As we get older, our bodies change in many ways. For example, muscles tend to get weaker as people age. Researchers have now ...
Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of self-organization have remained unclear. Now, researchers from Japan have ...
New research presented at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) 2026 Annual Meeting explores an approach ...
People need to sleep, and sleep deprivation can cause many changes in the brain. But we have a poor understanding of why sleep is so crucial. New research has examined a fruit fly model to assess how ...
Scientists at City of Hope have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by converting pancreatic cells that normally produce insulin into ...
Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology. These models, known as synthetic or biomimetic cells, allow some of the basic ...
New research presented today at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) 2026 Annual Meeting explores an ...
The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not understood much about how to manipulate the mechanical side of that equation. That ...
A new review argues that aging may not be just a collection of molecular defects, but a progressive drift in cell identity that links inflammation, fibrosis, mitochondrial damage, and tissue decline.
