Lab-grown mini-brains shed light on childhood epilepsy

Why does the same genetic mutation cause a severe brain malformation in some patients but not in others? Researchers from the MOSAIC team at the Paris Brain Institute have developed mosaic human cortical organoids carrying ...

How a rare pediatric liver cancer emerges

Liver cancer in children is rare, but when it occurs, the two main types are hepatoblastoma (HB) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In some cases, however, the tumors show features of both types. These tumors have been classified ...

How a tiny cellular signal helps shape the human heart

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to serious congenital heart ...

Gene behind delayed, softer teeth found in zebrafish study

A research team at the Korea University College of Medicine has uncovered a genetic mechanism responsible for delayed tooth development and impaired mineralization. The team, led by Professor Hae-chul Park (Department of ...

How stomach cancer learns to grow on its own

Gastric (stomach) cancer remains one of the most common and deadly cancers in East Asia, including Korea. Yet despite its high prevalence, it has received far less molecular attention than colorectal cancer, which is more ...

Why important genes 'go quiet' as we get older

The human gut renews itself faster than any other tissue: every few days, new cells are created from specialized stem cells. However, as we get older, epigenetic changes build up in these stem cells. These are chemical markers ...
