Early pregnancy depends on a remarkable act of coordination. Before the placenta can nourish a growing fetus, the embryo must securely "land" and connect with the mother's blood supply—a process ...

New UAB research uncovers how NFAT helps uterine NK cells support early placenta development, shedding light on pregnancy health and the roots of complications like preeclampsia.

Single-cell transcriptomics data from mouse bone-relevant cells was used to inform human bone mineral density genome-wide association studies and prioritize genetic targets with potential causal roles ...

Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.

For decades, the phrase “incurable disease” has been considered a cold, impenetrable and definitive wall in medical sciences. In the room where the word “incurable” ...

Findings reveal coronaviruses exploit stress-linked tRNA modifications, enhancing translation efficiency and offering insights for antiviral drug development.

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.

Many gene therapies rely on microscopic spherical lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), which encase and shield the therapeutic genetic material from degradation. 1 Upon delivery, cells internalize these ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years.
