This important study advances a new computational approach to measure and visualize gene expression specificity across different tissues and cell types. The framework is potentially helpful for ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have found that temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops ...

Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) show that active mitochondria ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew ...

A long-standing mystery in cancer treatment is how tumor cells so often become resistant to drugs, even ones they have never encountered before.

For years, cell and gene therapies were mainly associated with rare and orphan diseases, those that impact small patient groups and lack effective treatment options. However, recent developments in ...

Dozens of unexpected genes are strongly linked to type 2 diabetes, new research from The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) shows. The ...
