Each cell of the human body contains two meters of DNA. The whole secret lies in the intricate three-dimensional arrangement ...

Cells are constantly on the move, whether in a developing embryo or metastatic cancer. But how do cells adapt to the new ...

An international research collaboration has overturned the long-standing belief that the atomic nucleus of lead-208 is perfectly spherical. The discovery challenges fundamental assumptions about ...

This valuable work presents how PRDM16 plays a critical role during colloid plexus development, through regulating BMP signaling. Solid evidence supports the context-dependent gene regulatory ...

Supercomputer simulations have revealed how changes in the shape of the HIV-1 capsid protein may help the virus squeeze its ...

Zhang and his colleagues designed a generative AI model called ChromoGen to quickly ‘read’ DNA sequences and predict the ...

Jumbo phages utilize a complex protein import system, with Imp1 as a key gatekeeper, to transport proteins into their ...

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable new form of symbiosis — a bacterium that lives inside a single-celled organism (a ...

This important study demonstrates the potential of synthetic gene circuits to detect and target aberrant RAS activity in cancer cell lines. The circuit design is novel and the evidence supporting the ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered new details about how the human genome produces instructions for creating ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...
