First animal model to show the effects of gender-affirming hormone therapy on fertility
Scientists investigate the impact of hormone therapy on the fertility of trans individuals, shedding light on unknown aspects of reproductive health.
How our cellular “antennas” affect aging
Scientists have linked cilia found on cell surfaces with mechanisms for aging, and they’re hoping to help people live longer healthier lives.
How extreme exposure to a common plasticizer might be affecting male fertility
Using mouse embryos, scientists explore the impact of high exposure to a common plasticizer on male fertility, but caution: the dose makes the poison.
Ozone pollution disrupts genes controlling circadian rythyms
Study finds air pollution, specifically ozone exposure, has a disruptive affect on the genes responsible for circadian rhythms in the lungs.
Using organoids to advance equity and inclusion in drug discovery
Addressing the lack of diversity in drug testing, scientists are using organoids from voluntary donors to enhance equity and inclusion.
How the brain protects itself from the negative effects of CBD
To understand CBD’s impact and the risks associated with consumption, researchers explore how a fellow brain cell prevents toxicity in neurons.
Uncovering a new language in the brain
A group of brain cells called astrocytes might be involved in how information is conveyed within the brain’s neural networks.
