Credit: Cell Reports (2021). DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.110104 UC Davis Health endocrinology researchers are investigating the role of two newly identified molecules that control heat production from fat tissues. Their hope is to discover a better way to combat obesity complications. Assistant Professor of Endocrinology John C. Yoon and his team will study heat-producing fat tissues in

These tiny blobs of cells have the potential to create life. That’s why we limit what scientists can do with them. Researchers are generally not allowed to grow human

Making living cells blink fluorescently like party lights may sound frivolous. But the demonstration that it’s possible could be a step toward someday programming our body’s immune cells to attack cancers more effectively and safely. That’s the promise of the field called synthetic biology. While molecular biologists strip cells down to their component genes and
