The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...

Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells—and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research ...

ABSTRACT: Background: Liddle syndrome (LS) is a rare autosomal-dominant cause of early-life hypertension. It is associated with hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hyporeninemia, and suppressed ...

ABSTRACT: Vaginal fibrosis induced by cancer therapy continues to take a physical and psychoemotional burden. To advance the efforts to generate a reproducible and cost-effective animal model, we ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

In good news for future animation figureheads, there might be a new way to revive frozen brains without damaging them. Scientists in China have developed a new chemical concoction that lets brain ...

A new technique has allowed scientists to freeze human brain tissue so that it regains normal function after thawing, potentially opening the door to improved ways of studying neurological conditions.
