A new study from MIT shows how a type of cells called microglia contribute to the slowdown of neuron activity seen in Alzheimer’s disease. The study found that microglia that express the APOE4 gene, one of the strongest genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease, cannot metabolize lipids normally, leading to a buildup of excess lipids that interferes with nearby neurons’ ability to communicate with each other.

New findings show how stem cells coordinate to repair and replace the intestine's lining. The work could clarify disorders like inflammatory bowel disease.

One often thinks that the early embryo is fragile and needs support. However, at the earliest stages of development, it has the power to feed the future placenta and instructs the uterus so that it can nest.

Scientists generated kidney organoids and used them to identify potential drugs to treat autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

The early embryo is commonly believed to be fragile and in need of care. But in the early stages of development, it has the ability to nourish the
