For decades, Alzheimer’s researchers have watched the same frustrating pattern: the brain’s immune cells detect a threat, ...

A research team has developed an innovative technique that enables precise modification of specific proteins within complex biological environments. A research team led by Professor Seung Soo Oh and ...

Researchers have identified a method to enhance the effectiveness of a promising cancer treatment. They found that modifying a specific gene improves the ability of immune cells to combat cancer for ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Yi and Wei Haiming from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with Prof. Ding Chen's team from Human Phenome Institute at Fudan ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...

As the agency evaluates the utility of human embryonic stem cells in research, scientists warn that restricting the cells could slow discoveries and impede clinical trials.

Networks of protein fibers play important roles in living cells. To understand the dynamical behavior of these networks, model networks are needed to perform in vitro studies. However, fabrication of ...

Previous studies have found similarities in gene expression between resting brain stem cells and normal astrocytes even though they have very different functions. New research into epigenetic changes ...

AACR Trailblazer Grant recipients are tackling fundamental questions in cancer biology—from metastasis and immune evasion to ...

A new tool called SigRM helps researchers study RNA modifications in individual cells, improving our understanding of how genes are regulated. Researchers have developed a new tool that will help ...
