The long-term neurologic symptoms such as "brain fog" experienced by some patients with COVID-19 may be caused by a unique pathology — the occlusion of brain capillaries by large megakaryocyte cells, ...

In people with chronic heart failure, the heart doesn't pump blood as effectively as it should. This leaves the patient weak, tired, and short of breath. The disease is life-threatening, and around ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...
