Researchers have identified factors required to generate naïve stem cells by reprogramming. Researchers from the Babraham Institute’s Epigenetics research program have been able to learn…
When something goes wrong during DNA replication, cells call their own version of 911 to pause the process and fix the problem — a failsafe…
Tetrahymena, a tiny single celled-organism, turns out to be hiding a surprising secret: it’s doing respiration – using oxygen to generate cellular energy – differently…
With help from the best tweezers in the world a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen has shed new light on a fundamental…
Technique allows researchers to toggle on individual genes that regulate cell growth, development, and function. By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial…
UCLA-led study into mechanism that causes mitochondria to split could be step to potential cure. As scientists work toward finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease,…
Defective mitochondria – the ‘batteries’ that power the cells of our bodies – could in the future be repaired using gene-editing techniques. Scientists at the…
Controlling how cells grow is fundamental to ensuring proper brain development and stopping aggressive brain tumors. The network of molecules that control brain cell growth is…
Most mammals, including humans, have two sex chromosomes, X and Y. One sex chromosome is usually inherited from each parent, and they pair up as…
Experiment sheds light on the molecular evolution of RNA. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have for the first time been able to create an…
The synaptic pruning of newborn neurons by microglia depends on phosphatidylserine in the adult brain. This mechanism is essential for the maturation of newborn neurons….
Yale scientists have identified a way to “supercharge” tumor-attacking T cells, a finding that may not only improve the effectiveness of a promising type of…
New research has uncovered how mitochondria – the energy powerhouse of our cells implicated in devastating mitochondrial disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancers – respond…
New research led by the University of Bristol has found the protein p53 plays a key role in epithelial migration and tissue repair. The findings…
