A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full maturity and preserve the health of our organs. The MafB factor, a veritable ...

A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Regenerating body parts might sound like science fiction, but certain animals do it with precision and consistency. Scientists study them closely to better understand the biology behind healing. These ...
