Keloids are raised, overgrown scars that can develop after skin injuries or surgery, often extending beyond the original wound boundaries. For many people, keloids are more than just a cosmetic ...

Heart failure occurs when the heart can no longer pump blood efficiently to meet the body’s needs. Beyond weakened muscle cells, new research highlights the hidden role of fibroblasts—supporting cells ...

Algorithms developed for this study analyzed the images, measured 87 different physical characteristics for each cell, and sorted the fibroblasts into groups. Fibroblasts come in 11 different shapes ...

Healing from any injury involves a delicate balance between scarring and inflammation — two processes that can wreak havoc as well as make repairs. When the injury is to the brain, the balance is that ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. Researchers led by ...

Professor Yohan Kim of Sungkyunkwan University and the Max Planck Institute research team recreated the structure and ...
