Aging is a complex process that has long puzzled scientists. A recent study published in Engineering proposes a new theory called pro-aging metabolic reprogramming (PAMRP), which could change our ...

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

Mesenchymal drift may help explain how cells lose stable identity and acquire pro-fibrotic, inflammatory mesenchymal traits ...

Aging is the primary risk factor for numerous life-threatening diseases and has long been a central focus of biological research. Epigenetic reprogramming, a process that can modulate cell fate and ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

Our immune systems are made of various cells the orchestrate responses to foreign invaders. Each cell works in concert with one another to efficiently identify, target, and eliminate deleterious ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) shows which genes an individual cell is expressing at a given moment, and can deliver an enormous amount of data on how cells develop over time. However, ...

Jonas Salk quietly built the polio vaccine through rigorous, methodical work in Pittsburgh: treating patients, refining data, conducting massive trials, before unveiling results that altered the ...

Vitamin B12 is almost exclusively found in animal products, and this essential vitamin can be difficult for vegetarians and vegans to obtain. It is made through bacterial fermentation in the gut, ...
