Revealing yet another super-power in the skillful squid, scientists have discovered that squid massively edit their own genetic instructions not only within the nucleus of their neurons, but also within the axon—the long, ...
In most cases, taking a break isn't the most efficient way of getting a job done. But in a study published this week in iScience, researchers from Japan's University of Tsukuba have uncovered the regulatory pathway governing ...
Like humans, cells can be easily influenced by peer pressure.
All cells, like all people, need "quiet" time to function properly, and this is particularly true of T cells, one of the immune system's main weapons. They must be ready for activation at all times, and primed to divide more ...
An international research team led by members of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute; AEI) has obtained new measurements of how big neutron stars are. To do so, they combined a general ...
It's curious how an issue like climate change remains unsettled in segments of the population despite the overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity is responsible for the Earth's current warming trend.
By manipulating the "instruction manuals" that control cell function in our bodies, we will soon be able to combat many diseases, including the new coronavirus outbreak. However, in the worst scenario, such innovations will ...
A group of University of Chicago scientists has uncovered a previously unknown way that our genes are made into reality.
Defects in tRNA biogenesis influence gene expression and are associated with many types of human diseases, such as cancer and neurological diseases. In his thesis, Fu Xu contributes to new knowledge about the factors that ...
Researchers have developed a way to prop up a struggling immune system to enable its fight against sepsis, a deadly condition resulting from the body's extreme reaction to infection.
