Keloids are overgrown scars that often cause chronic pain, itching, and restricted movement, but their biological origins remain unclear. In a recent study, researchers from Japan discovered a ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

New research shows how some strains of norovirus have evolved uniquely potent cell entry mechanisms, opening new ...

Human noroviruses, GII.4 strains in particular, are the chief drivers of acute viral gastroenteritis around the world, a ...

Microcytic anemia, measured by red blood cell distribution width coefficient of variation, may be prognostic in type 2 diabetes.

Old cells are able to revert to a younger state for a better injury response after radically jettisoning ‘waste’ material, rather than managing it through controlled degradation. Cells eject ‘waste’ ...

P-cadherin is a protein commonly found on malignant cancer cells and has been used as a target for antibody-based cancer treatments. UC Davis biomedical engineers have discovered that when an antibody ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body's immune system.
