Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new ...

In contrast, physiological cell shedding allows the renewal of the epithelial monolayer without compromising the barrier function. Here, we investigated the role of live cell extrusion in epithelial ...

These findings provide some evidence that reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby increasing the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).

We recently reported that RAB11A and RAB11B redundantly regulate spindle dynamics in dividing gut epithelial cells. However, in contrast to the well-studied RAB11A functions in transporting proteins ...

Helminths secrete small regulatory microRNA (miRNAs), which can interact with host cells. Here we show that a single parasite miRNA (miR-5352), conserved across gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes, ...
