Researchers developed an improved method to study Parkinson’s disease in the lab. Along the way, researchers also uncovered clues that may help scientists figure out how to detect Parkinson’s earlier and point the way toward better treatments.

Macrophages, a type of white blood cell that can destroy invading pathogens, have an innate ability to infiltrate tumor cells, making them a potentially important tool in treatments that use transplanted cells to fight disease, known as cell therapy.

Physical activities in the morning, associated with daily patterns of sleep/wake cycle, convey timing information from the light-sensitive central clock in the brain to the weight-bearing skeletal tissues.

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in printing a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different polymers using a new laser scanning technique.

A team of scientists has 3D-printed hair follicles in human skin tissue cultured in the lab. This marks the first time researchers have used the technology to generate hair follicles, which play an important role in skin healing and function.

Long-term alcohol consumption has been linked to faster biological aging, notably in middle-aged and older people, as measured by epigenetic aging clocks.

An international team has for the first time researched the longevity of neutralizing antibodies in HIV-1-infected people. The findings improve understanding of the dynamics of such antibodies and are an important building block for further research.

In an "unexpected" discovery, researchers found that single-celled green algae use a biased counting mechanism to control cell division.

A team of researchers has mapped the location and spatial features of blood-forming cells within human bone marrow, providing a powerful way to study diseases like sickle cell anaemia and leukemia.

A study of senescent (inactive) osteoclasts in the vertebral column of mice suggests that using anti-senescent drugs could relieve the spinal sensitivity that causes lower back pain.
