Researchers discovered a feedback loop between nerve cells, the immune system and the heart. They think it shows promise as a ...

A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They developed the world's fastest high-definition 3D imaging technology for the ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a type of enzyme with a complicated name. Cell migration inducing and hyaluronan-binding protein (CEMIP) is associated with disorders ...

Salk researchers report they have discovered a protein called Mitf that mediates the repair function in the peripheral nervous systems of mice. The protein Mitf helps turn on the repair function of ...
