MIT engineers have developed injectable "satellite livers" made from liver cells and hydrogel microspheres. In animal tests, these mini tissue grafts survived for weeks and produced essential proteins ...

Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

Scientists have developed tiny engineered “satellite livers” that can be injected into the body to support liver function.

One of the most bothersome things about being sick or having seasonal allergies is that it makes your nose stuffy and blocked ...

The dominant narrative around heart health often frames sodium as a blood pressure villain. That story has been told so often ...

Multiple times a day, without us even noticing, the nostrils naturally switch between a dominant nostril for airflow. This process is called the nasal cycle and it plays an important role in the ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help shape those signals. Scientists discovered that tissue stiffness can ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full ...

A blocked nose is often brushed aside as a minor discomfort. However, it can trigger snoring and restless nights. Here's ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a drug-and-supplement combination therapy that is capable of reducing the harmful effects of senescent cells—also known as "zombie cells"—in diabetic kidney ...
