New research shows that the concentration of microplastics in our bodies has grown as global plastic production has increased The study looked at brain, liver and kidney tissue from cadavers The ...

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a new study. Overall, cadaver ...

Epigenetic aging clocks use DNA methylation patterns to measure biological age and predict health risks across human tissues.

The objective of the Tissue Resources Core is to collect, prepare and distribute high-quality human tissue samples (including solid tissues, blood and other biospecimens) to researchers located on the ...

Interest in these biospecimens has grown substantially due to their crucial role in advancing biomedical care and facilitating the increasing adoption of precision medicine in clinical practice. 2 ...

Prenatal human skin atlas and organoid will accelerate research into congenital diseases and lead to clinical applications for regenerative medicine. For the first time, researchers have created a ...

In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances, a group of researchers investigated the role of histone modifications in human aging by developing and evaluating histone-specific age ...

Researchers identified key differences between two widely used multiple sclerosis models, showing how each can better study myelin damage, immune responses, and repair. The findings may improve ...
