The University of Michigan researchers found some bacteria ship cellular cargo by “surfing” along proteins called ParA/MinD ATPases

A team at the University of Michigan developed a new kind of superresolution imaging that reveals previously unknown features of how cells divide.

Recent research from the University of Michigan finds that in addition to changing lives, most patients are highly satisfied with their decision to undergo surgery long-term.

A collaborative research effort led by the University of Michigan and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has resulted in a nasal vaccine adjuvant that stops infection in both young and old mice.

Researchers at the University of Michigan are now delving into the molecular-level details of sperm formation, with a particular focus on how abnormalities in this process might lead to male-factor infertility.

Researchers at the University of Michigan Health System have identified a protein that may be a new target for treatment of systemic sclerosis.

An analysis finds that up to millions of dollars could be saved annually on cancer immunotherapy treatments across the Veterans Health Administration by reconsidering how those drugs are delivered.

But Michigan Medicine-led research suggests that the gut microbiome, the trillions of bacteria that live in our guts, may serve as this link between a high-fat diet and metabolic and nerve health.

The National Cancer Institute has awarded the U-M Rogel Cancer Center a grant worth $37 million over five years and renewed the center’s designation as a “comprehensive cancer center.”

Research by the University of Michigan finds a newly created polygenic scoring system — one that weighs the combined effects of common genetic variants — can improve the ability to predict an individual’s risk of developing ALS.

A study led by the University of Michigan Medical School finds a link between death perception and reduced aging in flies.

Investigators find that these specific ants sniff out diseased fungus by detecting chemicals called peptaibols.

Scientists have wondered whether there are differences in the types of yeast that become pathogenic. A study from the U-M Medical School Department of Microbiology and Immunology finds that the colonizing strains are very similar to pathogenic strains.

One of the most important protein complexes in mammals involved in ERAD is called SEL1L-HRD1. Recent research finds that this protein complex helps regulate another critical protein involved in innate immunity, called STING, at the endoplasmic reticulum.

Michigan Medicine researchers spearhead an innovative strategy allowing an artificial circuit to safely support premature sheep without anticoagulation, overcoming a major barrier in artificial placenta research.
