A new, comprehensive catalog of differences in gene expression across dozens of human tissue types reveals previously unknown connections between genes and their regulatory DNA, researchers report ...

Genetic studies have revealed many genes linked to both common and rare disease, but to understand how those genes bring about disease and use those insights to help develop therapies, scientists need ...

An international team of researchers reached a major milestone in decoding the human genome by linking genes across all chromosome of many individual people to specific tissues and disease processes.

Researchers are attempting to uncover the basics of how fat tissue is structured and, specifically, inflammation associated with obesity, in the hopes of unlocking the connection between the ...

Nucleic acid extraction from biological samples is inherently difficult to execute consistently across different tissue types. Some tissue matrices are fibrous, contained in protective cell walls, or ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona say a previously unknown population of circulating immune cells play a critical role ...

StemJournal, a new open access, peer-reviewed journal published by IOS Press, announces publication of its inaugural article, "Combining Stem Cells and Biomaterial Scaffolds for Constructing Tissues ...

While both types of tissue grafts can produce similar results, the path to surgery and recovery can vary widely between allografts and autografts. Every year, millions of people undergo tissue ...
