A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

Chromothripsis enables cancer cells to evolve and resist treatment. With their new findings, researchers hope to explore ways ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

This collaboration has broad implications for biopharma and precision medicine. Researchers will be able to generate causal data, clinicians will be able to access new functional maps for interpreting ...

To date, more than 100 clinical trials with human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived products have been initiated worldwide and an increasing number of potential hPSC-derived clinical products have ...

In mice, limited intakes of one specific essential amino acid can slow the effects of aging and even extend their lifespan, ...

An expert discusses IL-18-armored CAR T cells for adults with relapsed B-cell leukemia, showing complete remissions with ...

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and shuttling ions from one side to the other. That restless activity does more than ...
