Islet of langerhans, light micrograph. This structure (centre), found in the pancreas, secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon, which control blood sugar levels. Magnification: x200 when printed at ...

New genetic map of the human liver reveals why certain areas are more susceptible to fatty liver disease while others are ...

A team of researchers led by the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research has produced the first systematic catalog of human E3 ubiquitin ligases, the enzymes responsible for tagging ...

The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...

A multi-institutional team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has constructed a proteomic atlas of human aging across 13 organs, revealing tissue-specific aging clocks, transcriptome-proteome ...

You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

A wave of recent studies has identified conserved genetic programs across salamanders, zebrafish, mice, and humans that control tissue regeneration, including limb regrowth. Researchers have ...
