Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

Nanomedicine prompts RNA to make protein-based drugs to treat diseases. Now we can fine-tune protein production by dialling ...

As we age, our ability to maintain healthy blood and a strong immune system gradually declines, largely because hematopoietic ...

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

Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...

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 ...

Dozens of new discoveries reveal that defenses evolved by bacteria and viruses billions of years ago still define our own ...

Single-cell analysis fails to find a functional link between the organization of chromatin domain organization and gene activity.

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

Can Rett syndrome be treated with precision medicine? A new study using brain organoids shows that mutations R306C and V247X require different drugs, HDAC2 inhibitors and baclofen, to restore brain ...

Mitochondria don’t just generate energy—they also carefully organize their own DNA in a surprisingly elegant way. Scientists have discovered that a long-overlooked phenomenon called “mitochondrial ...
