A research team has made a stem cell medium that doesn't contain any human components. E. coli was used to introduce canine proteins into the medium to act as a scaffold for the stem cells.

Researchers developed a dual-channel AID system that allows precise, lifelong tuning of protein levels in specific tissues of C. elegans. The method overcomes major limits of traditional on/off genetic tools.

Targeting senescent cells with CAR T therapy restores gut epithelial renewal and protects against radiation-induced damage, offering a potential path to improve gut health in older adults and cancer patients.

Scientists found that Ebola and Marburg viruses replicate in human gut organoids and interfere with fluid and barrier functions, with particularly severe effects in colon-like tissue.

Psoriasis involves immune dysregulation and a lipid-driven mechanism in which FABP5 induces ferroptosis. Blocking FABP5 eases inflammation, pointing to a potential new treatment pathway beyond current treatments.

Researchers have captured the first detailed molecular snapshots of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in action, revealing how this essential mitochondrial enzyme degrades RNA through an elegant base-flipping mechanism.

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital identified a protein network which locks ABCC4 transporters in place to maintain cyclic AMP signaling levels.

University of South Australia researchers developed an AI-based framework that uncovers how groups of genes work together to drive cancer progression. Tested in breast cancer datasets, the method identified known cancer drivers.

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers have now structurally elucidated how these protein strands of the cytoskeleton accomplish this.

Researchers have created an atlas detailing the dynamic diversity of astrocytes over space and time.
