Recent interest in substituting meat products with vegetarian or vegan alternatives has led to renewed scientific efforts to identify non-animal-derived ingredients that can mimic the sensory ...

Evolution is perhaps the most extraordinary story ever told—a tale spanning billions of years that connects every living thing on Earth through an intricate ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

These findings suggest that damaged tanycytes may lose their ability to move tau out of the brain. If the cells cannot perform this cleaning role, toxic proteins may remain in the brain and gradually ...

Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there ...

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

According to the data considered by its authors—a team from the University of Sussex (UK) and Lund University ...

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...

More than 10,000 Americans are waiting for a liver transplant. Many more never make the list, because they are too sick to ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

Fungal pathogens remain a significant cause of disease in humans and animals, especially as antifungal resistance rises and vulnerable patient populations ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...
