Research shows how developing sea anemones essentially 'exercise' to build their morphology

As humans, we know that an active lifestyle gives us some control over our form. When we hit the pavement, track our steps, and head to the gym, we can maintain muscle development and reduce body fat.

Scientists discover cells travel faster through mucus than blood

Some cells travel quicker in thicker fluids, such as honey against water or mucus versus blood, because their ruffled edges detect the viscosity of their surroundings and adjust to boost their speed.

Experts develop new single-cell “chromatin atlas” of the human genome

Researchers from the University of Virginia School of Medicine have developed a crucial new tool that provides a better understanding of how genes in particular cells affect the risk of developing heart disease, the world’s leading cause of death.

Researchers discover protein that enhances muscle mass

Humans are not just pumping iron in the gym, or not just oxygenating muscle cells, which keeps those muscles healthy, powerful, and developing—a process known as hypertrophy—that is defined as an increase in muscle mass, caused by an increase in muscle cell size.
