In prior studies, Romano, Sinha and other oral biology researchers have used genomic and epigenomic data to decode salivary ...

Over the past few years, a new class of medications has transformed the treatment of obesity. Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro work primarily by reducing appetite, helping people eat less and ...

The blood–brain barrier functions as an evolutionarily optimized vascular “filter,” permitting limited penetration of small molecules like temozolomide while effectively excluding most biologics from ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

The gut microbiome—the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract—drives a process vital for protecting the colon against tissue injury, according to the findings ...

Geroscience examines the underlying biology of aging to delay chronic diseases and extend the healthy years of human life.

Scientists have developed tiny engineered “satellite livers” that can be injected into the body to support liver function.

Understanding how aging reshapes the body and why physical function often declines over time has become a central focus of modern biomedical research. A new Yale School of Medicine (YSM) study, ...

By Dina GavarievaWith spring bringing warmer days and summer just around the corner, many of us are beginning to think about getting ‘beach ready.’ It’s a thought that can stir up all sorts of ...

MIT engineers have developed injectable "satellite livers" made from liver cells and hydrogel microspheres. In animal tests, these mini tissue grafts survived for weeks and produced essential proteins ...

Dental pulp injury caused by trauma or deep caries often leads to inflammation, tissue necrosis, and eventual loss of tooth ...
