Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of self-organization have remained unclear. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

A Nature Aging study shows that earlier thymic involution and accelerated conversion of naive CD8+ T cells into short-lived ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped how so-called atypical B cells develop and change function over time. The study, published in The ...

Scientists at City of Hope have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by converting pancreatic cells that normally produce insulin into ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed during a cell's life, but they also regulate cell death, calcium balance, and ...

It’s an unfortunate reality that myths and misconceptions about type 1 diabetes (T1D) are widespread today, leading to significant awareness gaps that ultimately make it harder for people to ...

Immune aging weakens protective responses against infection, cancer, and poor tissue repair, while increasing chronic inflammation and autoimmune risk. Domains of immune aging. With advancing age, ...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and atherosclerosis are two of the biggest killers in modern medicine, and they rarely ...

The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not understood much about how to manipulate the mechanical side of that equation. That ...

A new review argues that aging may not be just a collection of molecular defects, but a progressive drift in cell identity that links inflammation, fibrosis, mitochondrial damage, and tissue decline.

MILAN — Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Eli Lilly) improved markers of beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity in people with recent-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D), a new prespecified analysis of SURPASS-EARLY ...
