Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have identified a rare, new cell in the immune system with “Jekyll and Hyde properties.” These cells play a key…
[embedded content] Changes within enamel cells point to mechanism by which excessive fluoride leads to fluorosis. Exposing teeth to excessive fluoride alters calcium signaling, mitochondrial…
Calcium signaling in skin cells. Credit: The Rockefeller University The cells under Sanford M. Simon‘s microscope could easily be mistaken for neurons—they sport the characteristic…
A new handheld 3D skin printer treats severe burns by ‘printing’ new skins cells directly onto a wound. A team of researchers in Canada have…
Cancer cells become invisible to the body’s immune response. Unhindered by T cells (green), they can continue to replicate. Scientists have now described an important…

Depicted are hippocampal neurons from a normal mouse (above) and a mouse bred to lack the eIF4G microexon (below). In the latter, there are fewer…
NYU Abu Dhabi researchers have developed a new technique to efficiently cryopreserve human cells for long periods of time using conventional filter paper platforms. Credit:…
Since humans possess similar genes to the axolotl, the researchers say, scientists may one day discover how to activate them to help speed wound repair…
Research in children and young adults shows that iron levels in brain tissue rise during development and are correlated with cognitive abilities. Brain iron levels…
Using cryo-electron microscopy, Furukawa’s lab compiled a 3D image detailing the exact arrangement of the proteins that shape each CALHM pore. Pictured: CALHM1 as seen…
The left image shows a knee joint in a healthy rat. (White indicates cartilage.) The second image from the left shows a joint with grade…
A CALCR cell found in mice may stop feeding without subsequential nauseating effects as well as influence the long term intake of food. Ever eaten…

Biologists from The University of Manchester have explained for the first time why having a good night’s sleep really could prepare us for the rigors…
A protein called Sestrin might be responsible for many of the benefits of a good workout. Whether it be a brisk walk around the park…
The researchers specifically removed over 1,300 individual genes in the malaria parasite Plasmodium (in red, host cells in green) and were thus able to identify…
All cartilaginous fishes, similar to the marine mammals, have lost the SWS1 and SWS2 opsin genes. Sharks and rays do contain both rod and cone…
