Melbourne researchers create human heart valve tissues from stem cells in world-first discovery
On Aug. 14, 2020, research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) delineated how two relatively common variations in a gene called KIF3A are responsible for an impaired skin barrier that allows increased water loss from the skin, promoting the development of atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema. This finding could lead to genetic…
