Our bacteria are more personal than we thought, new study shows
The trillions of bacteria that call your body home—collectively known as the microbiome—appear to be unique to you, like a fingerprint. That's one conclusion of a detailed study of the gut, mouth, nose and skin microbiomes of 86 people. Over the.....»»
How cells in developing embryos change the way they use enhancers to regulate gene expression
If you look at a nerve cell, a muscle cell, or a skin cell under the microscope, they appear strikingly different. However, every cell in our body has the same DNA and has descended from a common ancestor—the fertilized egg cell. The diversity we o.....»»
Flexible AI optoelectronic sensors pave the way for standalone energy-efficient health monitoring devices
From creating images, generating text, and enabling self-driving cars, the potential uses of artificial intelligence (AI) are vast and transformative. However, all this capability comes at a very high energy cost. For instance, estimates indicate tha.....»»
Vitamin A may play a central role in stem cell biology and wound repair
When a child falls off her bike and scrapes her knee, skin stem cells rush to the rescue, growing new epidermis to cover the wound. But only some of the stem cells that will ultimately patch her up are normally dedicated to replenishing the epidermis.....»»
Bioengineering company creates induced pluripotent stem cells from elephant skin cells
A team of bioengineers at de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences has announced that they created induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from elephant skin cells. In speaking with the press, officials with the team reported that they are still in t.....»»
Exploring the inner workings of stem cells: When location changes the message
Stem cells are the body's wellspring of renewal. They can turn into any kind of cell the body needs, from liver to skin to bone. But the well would run dry if all the stem cells transformed......»»
Lumpy skin disease is a threat to Australian cattle industries. We need to know how it could enter and spread
Australian authorities are on high alert amid the spread of lumpy skin disease in cattle and buffalo across South-East Asia. While Australia remains free of the disease, the virus is likely to breach our borders at some stage......»»
