Texas Tech University researchers used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to quantify glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in mammalian brain cells.

These organoids provide scientists with better models for studying liver biology, and for developing treatments for various liver disorders.

One reason why our livers excel at clearing waste from our blood system is that the organ functions according to three key ...

New research shows Glycolysis -- the process of converting sugar into energy -- plays a key role in early development. More than fuel, Glycolysis doesn't just power cells -- it helps steer them toward ...

In the short term, these multi-zonal liver organoids will help scientists shed new light on diseases including diabetes, drug-induced liver injury, alcohol-related liver disease, and viral hepatitis.

As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations.

Two independent clinical trials demonstrate the safety of stem cell therapies for Parkinson's disease. The papers, published ...

The phase I clinical trials showed stem cell transplants for Parkinson’s disease appear to be safe and might restore dopamine-producing brain cells.

One reason why our livers excel at clearing waste from our blood system is that the organ functions according to three key "zones" that perform ...

Both studies, which are reporting the results of early-stage clinical trials, show that the interventions were safe, and that ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells are being tested to treat blindness, paralysis, Parkinson’s disease and more. Approvals might ...
