Researchers developed a method to enhance mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for cartilage tissue regeneration by adding ascorbic acid during cell expansion. This study also highlights micro magnetic resonance relaxometry (µMRR) as a novel tool.

A research team has developed an imaging technology using holotomography, allowing for real-time, high-resolution observation of living organoids. This innovative technique eliminates the need for fluorescent staining.

Metabolic factors influence tissue immunity in an intricate interplay between nutrient availability, organelle biology and tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell development.

A study reveals that CRISPR gene editing can disable a mutation in melanoma cells that leads to treatment resistance. By targeting the NRAS gene mutation, researchers restored the cells' sensitivity to anticancer drugs.

A critical transition in early human development is regulated by "jumping genes", a new study finds.

A study has unveiled the role of CDK5RAP2 in activating the γ-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC), a vital component for microtubule formation in cells. By using cryo-electron microscopy, the team demonstrated how CDK5RAP2 binds to γTuRC.

Researchers found that NF-κB, a transcription factor, is essential for maintaining X chromosome inactivation in T cells, connecting immune activation to female genetic processes. The study enhances understanding of sex-biased immune responses.

When cells are subjected to physical stress from crowding by their neighbors, they can slow their own growth, forming eye-catching patterns as a result.

Researchers have revealed in the greatest detail yet the workings of molecules called ‘protein degraders’ which can be deployed to combat what have previously been regarded as ‘undruggable’ diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

Scientists created mini-brain models from LBD patients' stem cells, mimicking key disease features. Using these models, they screened nearly 1,300 FDA-approved drugs and identified four potential compounds to inhibit alpha-synuclein buildup.
