Researchers discover a protein that protects the pancreas from self-digestion

The pancreas secretes around a cup of digestive juices per day—a mixture of molecules capable of breaking down the food people consume.

Rutgers researchers team up to develop and produce lab-grown, structured meats

A pair of Rutgers researchers are teaming up to combat climate change and worldwide hunger at the same time.

Manipulating immune cells to suppress the growth of some solid tumors

Cancer researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine say they have successfully suppressed the growth of some solid tumors in research models by manipulating immune cells known as a macrophages.

Extra copies of DNA explain insensitivity to chemotherapy in germ cell cancer

Extra copies of a piece of DNA partly explain insensitivity to chemotherapy in germ cell cancer, a new study shows.

Alzheimer’s patients tend to have differed and increased genetic changes, says study

Errors present in DNA can get accumulated inside brain cells as one is aging. However, in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, these errors called somatic mutations may increase at a quicker rate.

Researchers discover how new techniques may alter the synaptic connection of neurons

The brain has the potential to change the way neurons communicate with one another. That is how it prevents out-of-control brain activity. Scientists have discovered a mechanism that plays a key role in this.

Researchers analyze single-cell DNA sequencing for having a significant role in Alzheimer’s disease

The loss of functional neurons in the brain is a characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. What, on the other hand, is the source of this loss?

New protective mechanism against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease identified

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), commonly known as fatty liver disease, is a prevalent disease frequently seen in obese people. Having high fat content in the liver is detrimental as it is strongly associated with severe health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and liver cancer.

Researchers may have identified a key intermediate in the transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes

All modern organisms fall into two classes, eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Eukaryotes (from the Greek meaning "true kernel") have a cell nucleus that harbors most of the cell's genetic information and includes organisms such as humans, plants and fungi.

Research associates autophagy and age-related nervous system degradation

The in-built mechanism of recycling dead or poisonous material to preserve the health of human cells is critical to general health.

New automated system behaves as a promising tool to treat human bloodstream infections

When treating patients with acute infections, healthcare professionals must be able to quickly and properly determine which antibiotics are most effective in combating the disease.

Genomics provides a deeper understanding of the cause of hydrocephalus

The cerebral ventricles—four linked cavities of the brain that are packed with cerebrospinal fluid—become enlarged in hydrocephalus, or “water on the brain;” however, the cause is unknown in many instances.

Zbtb38 removal results in early embryonic death

DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic alteration for mammalian development.

Scientists reveal the origins and provide a detailed ID card of pancreatic endocrine stem cells

The pancreas is a key metabolic regulator. When pancreatic beta cells cease producing enough insulin, blood sugar levels rise dangerously — a phenomenon known as hyperglycemia — thus triggering diabetes.

Microglia regulate the intrinsic excitability of neuronal subtypes differently

A new study reports that immune cell responses to bacteria affect the intrinsic excitability of rat neuronal subtypes differently.

Study provides a deeper understanding of how gene mutations contribute to breast cancer progression

A mutated gene found in more than 20% to 30% of breast cancer recurrences may help tumors become more aggressive and promote metastasis, according to a pair of new studies that uncover mechanisms behind these processes and point to new therapy targets.
