Their findings, published online in Developmental Cell on April 22, focus on how temperature alters key epigenetic signals—chemical tags on DNA-packaging proteins that determine which genes are active ...

July 10, 2025 - A research team led by Professor Yiwei Li and Professor Bi-Feng Liu from the College of Life Science and Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) published an ...

Immunometabolism has emerged as a central hub linking infection, inflammation, cell death, and cancer. The metabolic state of cells profoundly shapes their ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

Atomic defects in nanodiamonds enable both precise heating of lysosomes inside macrophages and nanoscale temperature measurement, revealing that localized thermal spikes trigger immune cell ...

For decades, aging has looked like a one-way street, a slow accumulation of damage written into our cells. Now a wave of ...
