Study detects origins of Huntington's disease in two-week-old human embryos
The findings shed new light on the root causes of this disease, which leads to the degeneration of neurons in midlife.
How cells draw on memories of past inflammation to respond to new threats
A new study uncovers a near-universal mechanism behind this phenomenon, known as inflammatory memory.
New findings to boost IVF success rates
New research casts doubt on a genetic test used to screen would-be embryos for IVF implantation. The findings suggests that these embryos can develop into healthy babies regardless of whether or not they鈥檝e been flagged as defective by the test.
Paul Cohen, expert on fat, is promoted to associate professor
Cohen, a physician-scientist exploring obesity and metabolic disease, has conducted groundbreaking research on the complex inner workings of fat tissue.
Synthetic 鈥渕icro lungs鈥� could take COVID-19 research to the next level
Scientists have developed stem-cell technology to mass-produce tissue cultures resembling our breathing organs. These tissues offer a powerful model in which to study how SARS-CoV-2 wreaks havoc in the lungs and to screen for new drugs.
The blood may hold clues to some of COVID-19鈥檚 most mysterious symptoms
COVID-19 causes a host of diverse complications, from lung inflammation to blood clots, heart failure, and brain fog. A team of scientists believes these attributes may have a single culprit鈥攁nd that findings from research on Alzheimer鈥檚 disease might give them a leg up in finding it.
New atlas reveals the journey of human cells throughout development
The largest map of gene expression in over 4 million human cells charts the dynamic path to forming different organs.
Rockefeller's Charles M. Rice honored with Nobel Prize for research that contributed to a cure for hepatitis C
Rice will receive the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for research that led to a cure for hepatitis C, a viral disease affecting 170 million people worldwide. His lab worked on the virus for three decades and became the first to produce a version of it that could be grown and studied i...
How mechanical forces nudge tumors toward malignancy
Researchers studying two forms of skin cancer identified a long-overlooked factor determining why some tumors are more likely to metastasize than others: the physical properties of the tissue in which the cancer originates. The findings might set the stage for new ways to monitor and treat the di...
Transparent fish reveal the subtle, cellular dance in which sensory organs take shape
How do primitive cells 鈥渒now鈥� where to go during development? Scientists studying the fish equivalent of inner-ear hair cells have shown that biochemical and mechanical cues work together to orchestrate a highly complex arrangement.
