Looking around us, we can see that people age at different rates. But what about inside? Do all cells age in the same way? Researchers have now shown in the liver of mice that liver cells age differently depending on where they are located.

Researchers describes a hitherto unknown protein with anti-oxidizing properties secreted by Coxiella burnetii, a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium, pointing to possible treatments for auto-immune diseases and even cancer.

A surgical team from NYU Langone Health performed the world’s first whole-eye and partial-face transplant for a 46-year-old military veteran from Arkansas who survived a work-related high-voltage electrical accident.

Chinese scientists report the first birth of a live chimeric monkey whose cells largely derive from a line of monkey stem cells. Their findings are published in Cell.

In 2021, a University-led research team received a contract worth up to $33 million to develop an implantable “living pharmacy” to control the human body’s sleep/wake cycles. Now, the researchers have completed a major step toward achieving this.

Precision treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is key. New research has used a cellular atlas to outline the variety of cellular causes, which may inform targeted, effective therapies.

While we all aspire for a long lifespan, what is most coveted is a long period of vigor and health, or “healthspan,” that precedes the inevitable decline of advancing age.

Recent studies indicate that inflammation is one of the causes of the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Inflammation may result from past infections, but also from the state of functioning of the intestinal microbiota.

A human tissue model of a bladder has been used by researchers to show that bacterial strains can hide in the bladder wall, causing persistent urinary tract infections.
