Research shows DLX2 protein regenerate astrocytes into neural stem-like cells

A single protein may turn adult brain cells termed astrocytes into stem-like cells that create neurons and other cell types, according to UT Southwestern researchers.

Study shows that mechanical stress help cancer cells metastasize

A recent study shows that compressing cancer cells through tight spaces makes them more violent and helps them avoid cell death.

Placenta plays an active role in the delivery of maternal vitamin D to the fetus

Scientists have shed new light on the role of the placenta in managing the relationships between maternal vitamin D and fetal development, according to a study published today in eLife.

Discovery provides new insights into the understanding of tolerance to endotoxic death

Sepsis is a high-mortality disease that arises when the body's immune reaction to pathogens causes multi-organ defects.

Astrocyte networks are essential for spatial learning and memory formation, study shows

Astrocytes form large networks of interconnected cells in the central nervous system. When these cell-to-cell couplings are disrupted in the brain of adult mice, the animals are no longer able to store spatial information.

New tools for measuring the biological ages of various organ systems

It's common to say that someone looks either younger or older than their chronological age, but aging is more than skin deep.

Researchers identify the underlying molecular mechanism for development of chronic pain

One epigenetic factor as well as one organic anion transporter (OAT1), whose function in the nervous system was hitherto unknown, contribute to the development of chronic pain.

Reversing the destructive aging process in egg cells to increase fertility in older women

Throughout much of the world, increasing numbers of women are delaying having their first child until they are in their late thirties, and even into their forties.

Unusual partners aid new blood vessel development

Insufficient oxygen to an area like the heart or legs, called hypoxia, is a cue to our bodies to make more blood vessels, and scientists have found some unusual partners are key to making that happen.

Microglia help neurons grow synapses critical to cognitive functioning, research finds

Microglia, the immune cells of the brain, are known for eating up unwanted items like germs and debris, much as their counterparts do in the rest of the body.

Confocal laser scanning microscopy captures high-resolution 3D images of cell division in microalgae

Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae.

Study takes a deep dive into the molecular biology of the brain in bipolar disorder patients

In a comprehensive study involving one of the largest-ever samples of post-mortem brains, scientists at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development, in collaboration with researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, have pinpointed significant differences in gene expression in two specific regions of the brains of hundreds of patients who had bipolar disorder.
