Researchers engineered stem cell-derived heart tissues to study how tachycardia affects the heart and to uncover the inner workings of our body’s engine.

The inflammatory signals that prompt a body’s immune response have an entirely different role in the earliest stages of life, playing a crucial role in blood cell formation.

A team of researchers has designed and tested a supportive structure, called a scaffold, that can help large deep burn wounds heal faster. The promising new treatment was found to promote the formation of new blood vessels.

A collaborative team of researchers announced that they had successfully learned how to sabotage a key piece of machinery, called the Type 3 secretion system, that pathogens use to infect their host cells.

PFAS compounds have been shown to induce migration of cancer cells, a feature of metastasis. Cancer cells exposed to PFAS also showed metabolic changes consistent with metastasis.

Researchers published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the first five days of development.

The genome of a giant bacterium has been described for the first time, revealing its unique mode of reproduction, the ways it meets its metabolic needs and more.

Scientists recently published findings indicating that Ebola virus creates and uses intercellular tunnels to move from cell to cell and evade treatments.

Researchers have explored what happens when functional vasculature is added to cerebral organoids, illustrating the effects of vascularization on cell populations.

New research sheds light on the sex chromosomes’ shared role as influential gene regulators. The research shows that genes expressed from the X and Y chromosomes impact cells throughout the body.
