New research shows how stem cells act in the intestine

The use of stem cells in medical therapy is a hot issue. Scientists are still unsure of how cells decide to divide or differentiate in order to regenerate organs. Recently, scientists discovered a new biophysical mechanism that controls stem cells in mice’s intestines.

Researchers discover the gene essential for the growth of photoreceptors

Srrm3 is a master regulator gene essential for the growth of photoreceptors, cells in the rear of the retina that catch and process light and transmit signals to the brain that allow vision, according to research, from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona.

NSU explore harmful algae blooms to better understand their origins and management

They are bluish-green, stinky and yucky. We're talking algae blooms, that phenomenon that happens in waterways around Florida. And since 2019, researchers at Nova Southeastern University's (NSU) Halmos College of Arts and Sciences have been studying them with the primary goal to find out why they occur.
