A small molecule inside your body quietly fuels life every day. It helps your cells turn fat into energy, keeping your heart ...

Brown fat has long carried a kind of scientific promise. Unlike the more familiar white fat that stores energy, this darker ...

Scientists created a small implant that works like a living pharmacy, producing medicine inside the body using living cells.

In new research, scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in collaboration with ...

Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an ...

Every pregnancy depends on an organ that most people will never see. As organs go, the placenta — the tissue that surrounds a developing fetus — is a jack of all trades. It can filter toxins like a ...

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in ...

As we age with each passing year, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia. Scientists have long focused on fighting these conditions one at a time.

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington details a novel strategy for how the body clears out dead cells during stress, revealing unexpected roles for well-known stress-response genes-a ...
