A team of international scientists has made a major leap forward in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional human islets using a novel bioink. Presented today at the ESOT Congress ...

They’ve discovered a previously unknown organelle – that is, a specialized structure that performs some specific function – inside human cells. The team named it the “hemifusome”, and in a paper ...

The team also found a strong reaction in fat-cell precursors called preadipocytes: sound suppressed their differentiation into mature fat cells, thereby reducing fat accumulation by 13 to 15 percent.

Vitamin C fuels skin regeneration by unlocking genes that drive cell growth—making aging skin act young again.

Given the amino-acid sequence or 3D structure of a protein, how much can we predict about its function using just a desktop computer? The recent explosive growth in the volume of sequence data and ...

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells.

A membrane transport protein called SLC13A5 has previously been linked to a severe form of epileptic encephalopathy.

Mitochondrial abnormalities, or problems in cells' powerhouses, contribute to nerve cell death linked to motor control in MS, ...
