Adult heart muscle has long been treated as tissue with very little capacity to replace cells lost during a heart attack. A new observation in living human samples complicates that picture: heart ...
In a study that could reshape how scientists think about muscle development, meat quality, and even human disease modeling, ...
Some microorganisms thrive at temperatures far beyond anything humans could tolerate. The known growth record belongs to ...
When cells adapt to new challenges, they often do so by reshuffling their genomes on a grand scale. A new study published in ...
Researchers found that cardiomyocytes in human hearts show increased mitotic activity after myocardial infarction, the medical term for a heart attack. In other words, surviving heart muscle cells can ...
The relevant role of pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) in cancer metabolic reprogramming has been usually outlined by studying glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). However, recent evidence suggests ...
The perimeter outlines of a mouse embryo during implantation onto a synthetic gel, colour-coded on the basis of time after implantation. Yanhong Shi is a professor and the Chair of the Department of ...
A newly described amoeba found in California reproduced at 63°C, setting a reported record for eukaryotic life. The NASA-funded finding expands the known limits of complex cells and could inform the ...
Researchers have built a catalog of mitochondrial proteins found in six eukaryotic organisms — five parasites and one plant — ...
Every time a cell divides, its chromosomes must be distributed correctly between the two daughter cells. Central to this ...
Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. An immense variety of species of microbes, plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, ...
The heart’s apex is located at the bottom tip of the heart. It is part of the left ventricle. Conditions affecting the heart’s apex include myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, and heart attack. Healthcare ...
