Ulcerative colitis (UC) involves impaired wound healing processes contributing to sustained immune and microbial interactions that aggravate intestinal injury and may progress to colitis-associated ...

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is worried about cell phones. Under the department, the Food and Drug Administration has removed webpages that asserted the devices are safe, according ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the "conversations" between cells inside the body. The tools, called ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

When I was invited to write a reflection on my scientific career, I felt both honoured and deeply moved. This invitation prompted me to look back at more than 35 years of research and teaching, at the ...

Introduction: Iron deficiency (ID), affecting up to 50% of Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) patients, is associated with higher mortality, worse symptoms, poorer quality of life and impaired exercise ...

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
