Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, largely due to metastasis and ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

New molecular insights into the link between hepatocellular carcinoma and intratumoral fibrosis could lead to better ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...
