In a lab at Queen Mary University of London, a mouse was born whose existence defied conventional biology. It carried within ...

We should not lose sight of how wonderfully productive the biomedical research enterprise — now under threat — can be. The ...

District 9 encompasses portions of Delaware, Mayes and Craig counties. The elected individual will serve a four-year term on ...

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 ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

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 ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin.

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...

To do this, Berthet and her colleagues built a database of 700 bonobo calls and deciphered them using methods drawn from ...

Knocking out a single gene reprograms part of the large intestine to function like the nutrient-absorbing small intestine. In ...

CD8 T cells lacking Tet1/3 preferentially differentiate into short-lived effector and effector memory cells following acute ...
