DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...
Liver cells are indispensable for research—for drug testing, to better understand diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, or liver cancer and for development of future cell therapies.
Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the ...
Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...
Researchers developed an experimental method to convert skin cells into eggs, potentially allowing older women and same-sex ...
MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...
King’s College London researchers discovered that parts of our DNA once thought to be “junk” can actually help destroy cancer ...
By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...
A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...
