Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Cellular Heterogeneity Across Distinct Anatomical Prostate Zones

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a distinct type of prostate cell that may help solve the long-standing mystery of why benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that commonly affects men as they age - develops almost exclusively in one region of the prostate.

Collision-Sensing Enables Efficient Bacterial Navigation Through Complex Micro-Scale Mazes

Whether in fish schools, bird flocks or human crowds, moving as a group can offer safety and efficiency, but it can also lead to congestion and jamming," says Alexandre Persat, Professor at EPFL.

Newly Discovered Hair Cells on Squid May Offer Clues to Understand Hearing Loss in Humans

Scientists for years have known that squids have cells with bundles of tiny, hair-like protrusions on their heads and arms like those buried deep inside the human ear that allow us to hear.

Higher-Order Receptor Clustering Acts as Hidden Lymphangiogenic Signal Amplifier

Lymphatic vessels act as the body's "drainage system," collecting excess fluid from tissues. When lymphatic drainage is impaired because lymphatic vessels are underdeveloped, damaged, or dysfunctional, lymphedema can develop, causing swelling, particularly in the arms and legs.

Undigested Cellular Waste Secretes Toxic Signals That Zombify Surrounding Tissue

As we grow older, our bodies accumulate "zombie cells"-living cells that have stopped dividing or functioning normally-but linger in our tissues, contributing to chronic inflammation and age-related diseases.

Targeting Host Cellular Repair Mechanisms Enhances Tissue Resistance to Infection

Epithelial cells form the body's frontline barriers, helping keep microbes, toxins, and other harmful substances out. Yet these protective cells are constantly exposed to threats, including microbial infections.

Placental Microenvironment Reprograms Innate Immune Cells to Prevent Inflammation

In addition to their established role in fighting pathogens, certain maternal immune cells (neutrophils) can support early placental development by supporting placental cells migrate into the uterine lining.

Engineered Biological Bandages Utilize Human Epicardial Cells for Heart Repair

Researchers have discovered a new cell type that may help regulate blood vessel growth in the heart during development and in response to injury, according to a study from Weill Cornell Medicine. Working with zebrafish, they found that the new cell type helps stabilize the vascular network that supplies oxygen to growing cardiac muscle.
