New research from the University of St Andrews has discovered a crucial piece in the puzzle of how all animals with a spine—including all mammals, fish, reptiles and amphibians—evolved. In a paper ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones—from fish and frogs to ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

Researchers identify bone-forming cells as the driver of scoliosis caused by a genetic disorder, which can be prevented ...

A new study has found that MET (hepatocyte growth factor receptor) signaling plays a critical protective role in acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure (ALF). This pathway is shown to work as a ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to ...
