Scientists have uncovered surprising complexity in a tiny sensory structure found in comb jellies, some of the oldest animals on Earth.

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years.

Although we've all experienced the sensation of "eating" with our eyes and noses before food meets mouth, much less is known about the information superhighway, known as the vagus nerve, that sends ...

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy aid in weight loss by suppressing appetite. Researchers are looking next at how the body expends energy – including through fat.

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

Restoring the gut microbiota through fecal microbiota transplantation reversed these effects. The treatment replenished CX3CR1-positive NK cells, reduced lung damage, and improved survival. Targeted ...

This article examines how cultivated fat has the potential to bridge the gap between plant-based analogs and authentic animal tissue.

Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there ...

According to the data considered by its authors—a team from the University of Sussex (UK) and Lund University ...

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...
