Researchers at IRB Barcelona discover that vitamin B12 significantly boosts the efficiency of cellular reprogramming, thus holding promise for regenerative medicine.

Suicidal behavior is driven by a mix of psychological, social and biological factors. New research has identified overactive inflammation and loss of critical protection mechanisms in the brain as potential contributors to suicide risk.

A diverse array of biological medicines are now used to prevent and treat a wide range of illnesses. This article will discuss the development of cell lines in biopharma and will touch on key considerations, such as future manufacturability.

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.

Researchers have released a groundbreaking study identifying 4,749 key gene clusters, termed “prognostic modules,” that significantly influence the progression of 32 different types of cancer.

A surprising thing happened when researchers began exploring whether early-life stress compounds the effects of a childhood head injury on health and behavior later in life.

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.

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.

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.

Genetic information collected from seemingly healthy tissue near lung tumors may be a better predictor of whether cancer will come back after treatment than analysis of the tumors themselves.
