The Chemical that Regulates Hair Follicle Life and Death
Keratin is a protein produced by keratinocyte cells that moves to the skin and dies. While the follicles are active in the scalp, the bulb…
A New Pathway for Antimicrobial Peptides has been Discovered
Antimicrobial peptides are a plentiful and diverse class of molecules produced by numerous tissues and cell types in a wide range of invertebrate, plant, and…
Researchers identify novel Peptides with Anti-cancer Properties
Human cancer is still a leading cause of death worldwide. The current methods and therapies for treatment are accompanied by moderate-to-severe side effects. They have…
Observing the Onset of Skin Stem Cell Differentiation
Skin is a vital tissue in our bodies. It protects us from infection and dehydration and allows us to feel a wide range of sensations…
The Cellulose Nanofibers’ Surprising Thermal Properties
Cellulose Nanofiber (CNF) is the world’s most advanced biomass material, made from wood-derived fiber (pulp) that has been micro-refined to the nano level of several…
In Mice With Diabetes-Resistant and Susceptible Populations, Beta-Cell Populations Develop Differently
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by the progressive malfunction and failure of insulin-releasing beta cells. Researchers at DZD have now demonstrated that mice with and…
Genetics of Aging
Aging is the progressive loss of functional integrity and homeostasis that leads to death. Old age is associated with an increase in diseases that are…
Tree Root Life Cycle
Root tips generate new growth and absorb soil water and nutrients. The taproot grows downward, while the lateral roots spread out. Furthermore, the roots provide…
Viruses Survive in Soil Rain or Shine
Viral abundance in soil can range from below detection limits in hot deserts to over 1 billion per gram in wetlands. Although water availability and…
A New Anti-antibiotic-resistant Bacteria Weapon
Antibiotics are antibiotics that are used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria adapt to the use of these medications. Antibiotic…
Ancient DNA Research Provides Information About South America’s Early Settlers
