Epithelial stem cell ancestors for hair follicle formation

What if the secret to curing baldness has been hiding in your hair all along? University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered a little-known group of stem cells in hair follicles that could bring back ...

Biologists discover a new type of control over RNA splicing

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut out and the coding portions ...
