Some immune cells hindered digit-tip regrowth in mice

Cell-transfer experiments in mice lacking lymphoid immune cells found that regulatory immune cells rescued regeneration inhibited by another immune-cell type.Cell-transfer experiments in mice lacking lymphoid immune cells found that regulatory immune cells rescued regeneration inhibited by another immune-cell type.

Genetic study links protein to spinal narrowing in people

Genetic analyses using two European-ancestry datasets linked higher genetically predicted levels of placental alkaline phosphatase, a protein, to greater risk of spinal…Genetic analyses using two European-ancestry datasets linked higher genetically predicted levels of placental alkaline phosphatase, a protein, to greater risk of spinal canal narrowing.
