First biohybrid model of human ventricles is an important step forward for organ biofabrication

Heart disease - the leading cause of death in the U.S. - is so deadly in part because the heart, unlike other organs, cannot repair itself after injury.

Characterization of longer-term effects on behavior and brain inflammation following recovery from mild COVID-19

A recent study reported that long COVID in mice causes brain inflammation and cognitive impairment.

Highly active cells associated with growth and recurrence of brain glioma

Tumors are made up of many types of cells, both cancerous and benign. The specific complexity of the cells inside brain tumors has been a trademark of the disease, one that makes treatment extremely difficult. While scientists have long known about the variety of cells within a brain tumor, the ways these tumors grow has relied on the understanding that the cells are static, unmoving and relatively fixed.

Gelatin in Pacific whiting skin may help prevent wrinkles caused by ultraviolet radiation

The gelatin in the skin of Pacific whiting, an abundant fish on the Pacific Coast of North America, may help prevent skin wrinkling caused by ultraviolet radiation, a new Oregon State University study found.

Stress protein in fibroblasts appears to be an attractive cancer drug target

A stress protein that is overactive in many types of tumor cells also has a key role in tumor-supporting cells called fibroblasts, and may be a good target for future cancer treatments, suggests a study from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Alternative remedy to conventional root canals would regenerate lost tooth pulp

Each year, dentists in the United States perform more than 15 million root canals on infected teeth, removing the inflamed pulp and filling the emptied canal with inert materials such as rubber and cement. What remains is a mineral shell in place of a living tooth.

Penn scientists discover how one inflammatory disorder increases susceptibility to another

The immune system remembers. Often this memory, primed by past encounters with threats like bacteria or viruses, is an asset. But when that memory is sparked by internal drivers, like chronic inflammation, it can prove detrimental, perpetuating a misguided immune response.
