A recent study has explored the legal and ethical challenges expected to arise in human brain organoid research.

University of Queensland researchers have identified two enzymes that regulate a chemical modification in mitochondrial DNA, preventing the accumulation and inheritance of disease-causing mutations.

For the first time, researchers have developed a spatiotemporal map of malaria infection in the liver, a key site for vaccine targeting.

New research has illustrated how harmful Salmonella bacteria use gut bioelectricity to find entry points for infection.

A University of Gothenburg study shows that hearts stored using the heart-in-a-box technology significantly reduce the risk of early heart failure in transplant patients compared to traditional cold storage methods.

New research shows that scavenger cells in the eye develop as early as the embryonic stage, providing new insights into retinopathies.

A study by MIT and Harvard researchers found that oleic acid promotes the growth of beneficial vaginal microbes while inhibiting harmful ones, offering a potential new treatment for recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV).

Scientists at the University of Vienna have identified potential multipotent stem cells in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. These cells, regulated by ancient conserved genes, allow the anemone to regenerate and potentially avoid aging.

During infection, flavivirus core proteins migrate to the nucleus of host cells to aid viral replication. Researchers have identified a transporter protein, called importin-7 (IPO7), as crucial for the nuclear transport of Flaviviridae core proteins.

Researchers have developed a method to isolate and analyze microglia phagosomes in a rapid, gentle, and unbiased fashion. They also share new insights regarding synaptic pruning and generation of NAD+, a broadly used molecule in the brain, by microglia.
