Elusive key molecular signal for planarian stem cell regeneration identified.
Like a magician, the freshwater flatworm known as planaria can survive decapitation or even being cut into many pieces. Its ability to fully regenerate from tiny remnants of tissue is due to a special...
View ArticleSomatosensory neuron receptors used to form brown fat, have implications for...
Brown fat has long been investigated as a treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes due to the fact it burns energy faster than white fat, which hoards it, leading to weight gain. Now, a study from...
View ArticleNew technique identifies previously unknown human neuron subtypes.
Under a microscope, it can be difficult to tell the difference between any two neurons, the brain cells that store and process information. The mammalian brain contains diverse neuronal types, yet the...

Mimicking biological processes by engineering biomimetic nanostructures for single-cell transplants represents an elegant strategy for addressing problems in various scientific fields. Now, a study...
View ArticleResearchers identify precision medicine-based power switch for muscles.
It is known that strenuous exercise translates into better endurance, however, it is unclear in precision medicine terms which specific proteins trigger the health benefits gained through exercising....
