Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Lactate, once considered a metabolic waste product, is now recognized as a key regulator of cellular homeostasis and disease progression. In gynecological malignancies-including ovarian, cervical, and ...

Jonas Salk quietly built the polio vaccine through rigorous, methodical work in Pittsburgh: treating patients, refinin ...

Diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3K27-altered, is a lethal pediatric high-grade tumor, lacking effective treatment options, primarily depending on clinical trials. Epigenetic agent-based immunotherapy ...

Back in 1942, the term epigenetics was introduced by Conrad Waddington to present a picture of cell development, one in which cells descended a hillside and followed diverging valley paths before ...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a multifaceted disorder that impacts approximately 20–25% of the global population. This syndrome encompasses a range of conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes ...

A novel gene therapy that leads to cellular rejuvenation could restore vision after non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and glaucoma. The technique is based on a reprogramming ...

The field of cancer research is increasingly exploring the intricate intersections among epigenetics, cancer metabolism, and immunotherapy. These ...

Parkinson’s disease and other degenerative illnesses feature progressive dysfunction that can lead to cell death. BlueRock Therapeutics is developing regenerative pluripotent stem cells to replace ...
