Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

The study identifies molecular changes in taste receptor cells as a potential cause of persistent taste dysfunction in long ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough by successfully growing fully functional hair follicles in the lab, bringing us ...

The initial 'seed' for the hair follicle begins with epithelial stem cells (which make the hair itself) and dermal papilla ...

Protective Effects of Vitamin D in Necrotizing Enterocolitis of Preterm Infants: From Basic Research to Clinical Translation. Journal of Biosciences and Medicines, 14, 42-56. doi: ...

Cigarette smoke accelerates eye aging by causing epigenetic changes that block the eye's natural repair genes.

Hopkins researchers identify how smoking, a well-known risk factor for eye disease and vision loss, increases susceptibility to age-related eye disease ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

On Thursday, Feb. 19, Ali May, an assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai presented her research ...

New findings show that the genome’s 3D structure is constantly changing, with NIPBL guiding loop formation that regulates active genes. Faulty folding dynamics may underlie cancers and developmental ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic "base pairs" to a new level of precision, opening the door to safer, more ...

The vast majority of cancers are derived from epithelial origin. The key mechanism which contributes to cancer progression and leads to metastasis is called epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. It ...
