Alcohol doesn’t just damage the liver — it locks its cells in a strange “in-between” state that prevents them from healing.

UCLA researchers have made strides in developing a stem cell gene therapy for alpha thalassemia major, a severe, inherited ...

In their quest for safe, mass-producible artificial blood, geneticists have long struggled. Our limited knowledge of genetic ...

Remember mitochondria? Those little "powerhouses" of the cell that many of us learned about in high school biology? It turns ...

At ESAD 2025, researchers reported that Viperin (RSAD2) is strongly induced by inflammatory cytokines in pancreatic beta ...

Research on rare post-mortem brain tissue shows changes in gene activity, offering new insight into the biological basis of depression. Researchers from McGill University and the Douglas Institute hav ...

Lab-grown brain cells improved stroke recovery in mice by repairing circuits and reducing damage. Human trials could follow within 5–7 years.

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes.

Alcohol damages the liver by disrupting RNA splicing, leaving cells stuck between functional and regenerative states. Targeting inflammation and restoring ESRP2 may provide new treatment options. Heav ...
