T-cell cytokine and fatty acid work together to trigger a type of cell death

Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center found that a cytokine, a category of protein that acts as messengers in the body, and a fatty acid can work together to trigger a type of cell death previously defined by studies with synthetic molecules.

Researchers design a peptide hydrogel for cell spheroids production

This study is led by Prof. Zhimou Yang and Prof. Quan Chen (College of Life Sciences in Nankai University), and Prof. Jianfeng Liu (Institute of Radiation Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences). Prof. Zhimou Yang, who is working in the research field of peptide self-assembly biomaterials for more than 15 years, designed the peptide hydrogel for cell spheroids production.

Consuming wine with meals linked to lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes

An analysis of health data for nearly 312,400 current drinkers suggests consuming alcohol, most notably wine, with meals is associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Heart Association's Epidemiology, Prevention, Lifestyle & Cardiometabolic Health Conference 2022.

Study finds how genetic baggage can accumulate in the genomes of normal and mutant animals

You are probably familiar with the term that some people carry "a lot of extra baggage." Usually that term refers to that person's emotional history, but in genetics and our genomes, "extra baggage" can also describe the transposons lurking in our genomes, a historical record of our genomes surviving traumatic invasions during evolution.
