Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have created the first detailed map showing how genetic activity is controlled in individual cells of the adult human brain and spinal cord. The study, published ...

Dr. Catie Harris adds advanced non-cellular protein arrays to a comprehensive clinical toolkit that includes targeted ...

Researchers discovered an antioxidant, glutathione, that cancer cells appear to be "addicted to" as fuel, opening new ...

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

These clumps of cells are a far cry from what most of us picture as a robot, but they could one day be useful due to their mysterious healing properties.

Fermentation has evolved into precision fermentation, utilizing biotechnology to engineer microorganisms that produce ...

Scientists at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered a new dual function for a ...

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function - it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

A growing body of experimental work on how single bacteria sense and respond to their environment has reopened a long-standing question in biology and philosophy: can an individual cell be conscious?

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...
