Bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. The research could revolutionize therapies for complex conditions like autoimmune ...

A study of gene expression in the human brain shows that cell types become increasingly specialized, rather than simply more numerous. The human brain stands out as the organ that most distinctly ...

Kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells, one new study has found. Another recent study says ...

Scientists recreated molecular switches that regulate biological timing, aiding nanotechnology and explaining evolutionary ...

Bits of DNA from mitochondria can skip surprisingly fast into our genome and may reduce lifespan M ost of us remember two ...

Based on new brain mapping research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have discovered that not all cell types in the brain age in the same way.

This year saw several advancements across medicine, space technology, and AI that extend our knowledge in consequential ways.

Prof. David Harel’s research, Dept. of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, on modeling the feeding process of C. elegans to reveal biological system dynamics and enable in silico experiments.

Similarly, in biology, different part of cells can be mapped onto compartments that serve specific functions. Different cellular molecules can reside in each compartment. For example, DNA is only ...

Role of CD4 T Cells in HIV Treatment In the past, treatment for HIV was delayed until the CD4 dropped to a certain level. This was due in part to the toxicity of early antiretroviral drugs as well as ...

"This lays the groundwork for future experiments in space, in which we can include other parts of the brain that are affected by neurodegenerative disease." On Earth, the team used stem cells to ...
