Why do people infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) often suffer from cardiovascular, liver, and other comorbidities? Researchers at the Center for Individualized Infection Medicine (CiiM) investigated this question as part of the 2000HIV […]

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis—the birth of new neurons—is now a widely accepted phenomenon in […]

It’s a fact of life: Some people age better than others. Some ease into their 90s with mind and body intact, while others battle diabetes, Alzheimer’s or mobility issues decades earlier. Some can withstand a […]

A new study has created the first single-cell map of how DNA is regulated and organized inside different cell-types of human fat tissue. The research shows that many genetic risk factors for abdominal obesity reside […]

Researchers say the ability to visualize health data in three dimensions can unlock patterns and relationships among predictive biomarkers that conventional data visualization can’t convey. That’s why Zeeshan Ahmed and his team at Rutgers developed […]

Two new studies from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated how mutations that occur in muscles and blood vessels over time can affect aging. The studies, which are published in Nature Aging, show that such […]

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for the skin, liver cells express liver genes, and so on. This coordination is crucial […]
