Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Ancient DNA is turning human evolution into a crime scene reconstruction, and one of the prime suspects is a herpesvirus that ...

Millions of people live with atrial fibrillation, a racing, uneven heartbeat that can leave you exhausted and scared. Yet it ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

In advanced dry disease, a key problem is failure of retinal pigment epithelium, often shortened to RPE. These cells help ...

A China-led team has built the world’s first mini-womb on a chip that can fully replicate the “invasion” of human embryos in the uterus during early pregnancy. Their 3D model on a microfluidic chip ...

Researchers demonstrated that declining Hedgehog signaling from Cilk1 loss produces stepwise changes in tooth formation ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic stem cells develop into brain cells.

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...
