During pregnancy, maternal and fetal cells migrate back and forth across the placenta, with fetal cells entering the mother's ...

Objectives Understanding the molecular changes in the preclinical synovium is crucial for identifying factors that drive arthritis development. Persistent DNA damage in tissues is known to drive a ...

Texas A&M scientists found that healthy cells can donate extra mitochondria to damaged ones, revealing a potential breakthrough for diseases driven by failing cellular energy, according to a new PNAS ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Heart muscle cells grown from patient stem cells—known as human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes, or hiPSC-CMs—are a promising way to repair hearts damaged by heart attacks and ...

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 4 (UPI) --Argentine scientists have identified a mechanism that allows pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin, to become resistant to damage. The finding opens the door to new ...

The minimally invasive procedure, known as MACI, is expected to last 15 years or longer, significantly more than traditional repairs. The recovery process involves months of slow, specific physical ...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic and widely prevalent condition characterized by a progressive loss of glycemic control driven by both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. The disease has long ...

LOS ANGELES — Scientists at City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S., and a leading research center for diabetes and other ...
