Background High serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) predict poor prognosis in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), a malignancy that often develops in a chronically inflamed milieu . Here, tumour ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

BACKGROUND: Aortic valve calcification increases leaflet stiffness and contributes to the development of calcific aortic valve disease. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying calcification ...

TUCSON, Ariz. — A Q-tip, a tissue and a pizza crust. To investigators, this seemingly innocuous trash was DNA-laden treasure, helping crack the cases of the University of Idaho murders, the Golden ...
