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.

Researchers at the Buck Institute have identified a new drug-like molecule that keeps mitochondria healthy via mitophagy, a process that removes and recycles damaged mitochondria in multicellular organisms.

A pair of recent studies have uncovered novel cellular mechanisms that are involved in two types of genetic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The findings improve the understanding of ALS.

Eating in a ten-hour window is associated with higher energy and mood and lower hunger levels, new results from the largest UK community science study of its kind shows.

Researchers have taken the first steps towards decoding the circalunar clock, which helps marine bristle worms distinguish between sunlight and moonlight as well as between different moon phases.
