Researchers uncover how senescent cells can both harm and heal in liver disease

Researchers developed novel genetic tools to trace, ablate, and manipulate p16^Ink4a+^ senescent cells, revealing their distinct roles in liver fibrosis and repair. Senescent macrophages promote fibrosis, while endothelial cells aid in tissue recovery.

New study confirms brain's waste-clearance pathways in humans

Scientists have long theorized about a network of pathways in the brain that are believed to clear metabolic proteins that would otherwise build up and potentially lead to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. But they had never definitively revealed this network in people - until now.

The impact of KRAS mutations on pancreatic cancer progression and survival

A common mutation in the KRAS gene is associated with improved overall survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) compared with other variants, in part because the mutation appears to lead to less invasiveness and weaker biological activity, according to a multicenter study conducted at Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and other institutions.
