A common diabetes medication, metformin, slows the growth of precancerous cells in the esophagus while some metabolic ...

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...

Scientists from Baylor College have identified a new cell type in the human brain that shares properties of neurons and glia.

Proto-oncogenes regulate cell growth; mutations convert them to oncogenes, leading to cancer by disrupting normal cell division processes.

Researchers have identified key cellular control sites that regulate gene expression and prevent the activation of "cryptic" ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanisms that protect the genome from the metabolic toxin formaldehyde in AMeD, a rare congenital disorder of premature aging and myeloid leukemia development. The ...

Researchers have achieved a significant advancement by developing lab-generated blood stem cells that mirror those found in ...

Kendric Cromer, 12, is among the first patients to be treated with gene therapy just approved by the F.D.A. that many other ...

In Type 1 diabetes (T1D), insulin-producing β-cells are killed by islet-infiltrating immune cells in a process called “insulitis”. T1D results in a critical requirement for exogenous insulin and ...

Scientists also found non-tumor cells that are neuron-glia hybrids, suggesting that this cell population may contribute to healthy brain function.
