How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body's changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer lies not only in biology—but also in physics. Researchers at Åbo Akademi ...

For years, researchers have suspected that a hormone called relaxin could be an effective treatment for certain cardiovascular diseases. It helps counteract scarring (fibrosis), prevents veins and ...

Advanced proteomics and AI reveal blood protein changes, offering insights into early Alzheimer's detection and differentiation from mild cognitive impairment.

In Michigan Tech's biology teaching lab, undergraduate students research potential cancer cures with help from the humble worm.

A new study from Scripps Research reveals how a key touch-sensing protein detects mechanical forces with remarkable precision. Each time something lightly presses against your skin, specialized sensor ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

Scientists offer new insight into how the body detects light touch and how disruptions in that process may contribute to sensory disorders.
