A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how scientists understand proteins—these are working molecules that drive nearly every process in the human body, from cell growth and immune defense to ...

Researchers discovered that a lattice-like skeleton beneath neuron membranes regulates endocytosis, controlling nutrient and protein uptake.

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...

Networks of molecules in our body behave as though they have goals and desires. Understanding this phenomenon could solve the ...

Vertex Pharmaceuticals and bluebird bio have entered into an agreement with CMS to participate in a new Medicaid payment model for gene-based sickle cell anemia treatments, the agency announced ...

Cells shrink a major internal structure as they age. New research shows this downsizing is deliberate—and linked to longer lifespan.
