Credit: Ashley Alva Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, defend the body by engulfing and digesting foreign particles, such as bacteria, viruses, and dead cells. The immune cells also tend to accumulate in solid...

by Stephanie Winn, UC Davis Credit: UC Davis Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in American men. Understanding the factors that influence patient outcomes is critical for improving treatment and survival rates. Research led by UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center reveals a link between bone metabolism biomarkers and survival in men with newly...
by University of California, Irvine Molecular mechanisms of stress resilience-enhancing drug (SRED) therapy. Retinal degeneration involves a complex, multifactorial combination of genetic factors and environmental exposures that accumulate over a lifetime and eventually overwhelm intrinsic stress resilience mechanisms, which can be enhanced pharmacologically by SREDs to alleviate disease and preserve vision.

By Michael Irving May 08, 2023 A new AI platform called BacterAI can conduct thousands of experiments per day to learn about bacteria, even without any prior knowledge Depositphotos Scientific work often involves sifting through enormous amounts of data, a task that’s overwhelmingly mundane for humans but a piece of cake for artificial intelligence. A...
From early detection and internal treatment of diseases to futuristic applications like augmenting human memory, biological computing, or biocomputing, has the potential to revolutionize medicine and computers. Traditional computer hardware is limited in its ability to interface with living organs, which has constrained the development of medical devices. Computerized implants require a constant supply of electricity,...

MIT engineers’ new technique analyzes the 3D organization of the genome at a resolution 100 times higher than before Peer-Reviewed Publication MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CAMBRIDGE, MA — Much of the human genome is made of regulatory regions that control which genes are expressed at a given time within a cell. Those regulatory elements can...
