Innovative SenMayo Gene Set Consistently Identifies Diverse Senescent Cells

A series of seven Mayo Clinic studies is helping reshape scientists' understanding of senescent, or "zombie," cells - aging cells that no longer divide but remain metabolically active and release inflammatory molecules that contribute to age-related diseases.

Dysfunctional Mitochondria Control Epigenetic Switches to Turn On Inflammatory Genes

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps aging cells drive the chronic inflammation linked to many age-related diseases.

New Base Editing Strategy Rewrites Genetic Code to Minimize Huntington's Symptoms

A gene editing tool designed to precisely rewrite the gene that causes Huntington's disease reduced toxic protein fragments and symptoms associated with the disease in mice, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report.

University of Oklahoma Study Uncovers Internal Recycling System in Photoreceptors

For decades, scientists believed that photoreceptors in the retina relied primarily on neighboring support cells, known as the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), to remove waste. While the RPE is still responsible for clearing away the worn-out tips of photoreceptors each day, new findings from the University of Oklahoma reveal that photoreceptors also perform much of their own internal housekeeping.

Harvard Biologists Discover Unique Ribosome Adaptation in Shallow Water Octopuses

The octopus is a biological oddity. It can use tools, open jars, and its complex nervous system supports as many neurons as a small primate.

Structural Proteins Control Stem Cell Division to Stop Tissue Tumors

In many animal tissues, stem cells continually divide to create new cells that replace old or damaged ones. However, this capacity requires strict regulation, as uncontrolled stem cell proliferation can disrupt tissue homeostasis and contribute to tumorigenesis.

Microneedle Patches Turn Skin Into a Window for Immune Bioanalysis

Researchers combined local restimulation of skin-resident memory T cells with hydrogel-coated microneedle patches to recruit and sample rare immune cells. In mouse models, the approach recovered more antigen-specific T cells than a blood sample or punch biopsy, while studies in humans supported short-term tolerability and proof-of-concept cell sampling.

Scientists Discover Molecular Mechanism Behind Red and Green Color Vision

Human color vision depends on three types of cone cells in the retina. Although all three contain the same light-absorbing molecule, 11-cis-retinal, differences in the surrounding protein determine sensitivity to red, green, or blue light.

Dengue Virus Replicates Inside Memory B Cells to Evade Immunity

Researchers at the University of Vermont Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine and Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY, have discovered that dengue virus can infect and replicate inside memory B cells, immune cells traditionally understood to help protect the body from infection.
