Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory ...
In some mammals, the timing of the normally continuous embryonic development can be altered to improve the chances of survival for both the embryo and the mother. This mechanism to temporarily slow ...
Over the past 15 years, University of Alabama at Birmingham endocrinologist Anath Shalev, M.D., has unraveled a crucial biological pathway that malfunctions in diabetes. Her latest discovery in this ...
Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...
Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...
The integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with advanced metabolic profiling tools has revolutionized the ...
Researchers have for the first time identified degeneration-associated “molecular markers” —observable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks—that are shared by several forms of dementia ...
