A human kidney is built once, before birth, and the rules guiding its construction have been largely inferred from animal models. Researchers at Penn Medicine have now read those rules directly in human tissue. They found that developing cells are steered by soluble signals relea

A study published in Nature Cell Biology reports a new vulnerability in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that might lead to novel therapies to treat the cancer while minimizing harm to normal cells. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions studied a ne

Cancer cells rely on powerful genetic switches to keep growth genes running at full speed, but that intense activity can damage their own DNA. The resulting breaks are repeatedly repaired, sometimes with small mistakes that allow new mutations to accumulate. Researchers believe t

Fluorescent dyes have long been used in biological research to identify and visualize structures within living cells. Although effective, they have several drawbacks, including altering the cells under study, limiting the number of structures that can be examined at once and redu

Neck and low back pain affect millions worldwide and are a leading cause of disability. Degeneration of the disks that cushion the spine is a leading cause. Current treatments can relieve symptoms but do little to slow the underlying disease. Now, researchers from Thomas Jefferso

A protein that evolved long before the human circulatory system may help unlock stronger cancer treatments. When C3 is produced inside tumors, it blocks immune-suppressing cells and gives immunotherapy a better chance to work. Researchers were even able to recreate this effect in

A new study co-led by professor Valeriya Malysheva, group leader at the VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology, published in Nature Genetics, uncovers how the three-dimensional organization of DNA in rare immune cells can help explain genetic risk for Crohn's disease and oth

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer that remains difficult to treat. While targeted therapies have improved outcomes for some patients, many relapse when a small population of cancer stem cells survives treatment and seeds the disease again.

All living organisms need vitamin B12 to form red blood cells and DNA, as well as to build and support brain and nerve cells. But it's hard to come by: Humans don't make it. Animals don't make it. Plants don't make it. In fact, this essential nutrient is made exclusively by certa

SpaceX won't build large cell towers but plans small base stations across US. O recorte ajuda a contextualizar a pauta dentro de IA.

Plus: A judge rules cell tower dumps unconstitutional, water utility hacks spread to a dozen states, a phishing email opens a missile-parts supplier’s inbox, and a ransomware boss gets 16 years.

One of the many ways obesity harms the human body is through damage to skeletal muscle. This progressive muscle decline, also known as sarcopenia, reduces strength, mobility and the ability to live independently. Unfortunately, most therapies for obesity and related conditions li
