Sourdough is easier to digest, has less of an impact on blood sugar, and is potentially more nutritious than other breads.

Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire chatter all over the nervous system. Heart muscle cells do something ...

Experiments in mice reveal an early postnatal window of opportunity for the effective transfer of genes to blood-cell-producing haematopoietic stem cells by injecting mice with gene-carrying ...

The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

Those with sickle cell disease in the United States can have a shortened lifespan into their 50s, and even shorter in other countries. Roughly 100,000 Americans currently suffer from sickle cell ...

Glial cells play an important role in supporting the body's central and peripheral nervous systems. Several types, each with different functions, of glial cells exist. Learn more here.

AstraZeneca Plc said a handful of patients with lupus went into remission after getting an experimental treatment, as the UK drugmaker plows billions into the growing area of cell therapy called ...

A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — might explain why the human brain has such a huge storage capacity, researchers reported in the journal PNAS in May. The ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research.

In the vast majority of bottom-up proteomics studies, protein digestion is performed using only mammalian trypsin. Although it is clearly the best enzyme available, the sole use of trypsin rarely ...
