Proper embryonic development of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is governed by patterns of protein activity bequeathed to the fertilized egg by its mother. While the embryo is still a single ...

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain ...

The interplay between the nervous and stomatognathic systems, both anatomically proximate and functionally intertwined, holds profound implications for health. Advances in brain science reveal ...

Caroline Block, MD: With regard to the development of clinical pathways, we started doing them at Dana-Farber [Cancer Institute] 4 years ago. We have used them in each disease center to make sure ...

Mechanisms of heart-valve disease often mimic processes observed in embryonic and early childhood development, including activation of valvular interstitial cell (VIC) phenotypes and remodeling of ...

Patterns that guide the development of feathers and other features can be set by mechanical forces in the embryo, not just by gradients of chemicals. One of the longest-standing questions in biology ...

The interplay between host immunity, the microbiota, and cancer is a rapidly evolving area of immuno-oncology. An increasing body of evidence highlights the ...
