Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the "dark ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is ...

UCSF scientists discovered that an overlooked cell type in the brain plays a central role in healing traumatic brain injury.

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...

DNA folding is more important for cell function than previously thought, finding that even the most subtle changes in DNA’s ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body, including to vital organs and tissues. They also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide. Too little or too many red blood cells may be ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

Uptake of cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cells and carrying non-coding DNA could redefine mammalian genomics.

How well our brain functions depends heavily on the performance of our nerve cells. That is why they are regularly checked for their proper function -- defective cell components are marked, disposed ...
