A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

When your social media account starts spewing out nonsensical or threatening status updates, it's safe to assume that it has ...

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...

A new study published in Nature offers the most detailed map to date of how individual cell types in the brain change with ...

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

The nuclei in our cells are miniature warehouses safeguarding the genetic blueprint for the body's biologic machinery. As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many ...

To build the map, researchers at Columbia University and the University of Bordeaux took a slice of a frozen human brain and, ...

Knocking out a single gene reprograms part of the large intestine to function like the nutrient-absorbing small intestine. In a preclinical study ...

Acquired resistance genes may allow bacteria to degrade or chemically modify antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. They ...

Taking a trendy ice bath—or, as they are formally known, "cold-water immersion"—actually changes the way your cells operate.
