An expert breaks down the facts about animal and plant proteins—and reveals which one you should prioritize in your diet.

By tightly packing some sections of DNA and covering other parts of the molecule with chemical tags, these modifications change how a cell uses the DNA and, consequently, how the cell functions.

“These molecular tools are older than animal stem cells themselves ... and then you build something new from mostly recycled parts.” ...

While the cells have similar parts, the researchers weren’t sure if the parts worked the same way. In neurons, when a chemical signal passes through, the cell starts producing CREB. The protein ...

"This idea in theory can be applied to other tissue replacement organs because it is possible to induce specific tissue/organ cell types and seed them on decellularized animal (such as a pig ...
