memory formation hinges on connections between groups of engram cells, which are neurons thought to capture and store ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age ...

Damage to the mitochondria, the 'power plants' of the cells, contributes to many diseases. Researchers now describe how cells with defective mitochondria activate a special recycling system to ...

Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Researchers at Stanford University have proposed a concept that could transform modern medicine: lab-grown human “bodyoids” ...

If we cut or limit funding for curiosity-driven research, we risk shutting down the pipeline of future innovation,” writes ...

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...

The nuclei in our cells are miniature warehouses safeguarding the genetic blueprint for the body's biologic machinery. As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many ...
