Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes of biology. It’s what allows all living things to grow, multiply
Mutation and 3D modeling reveal new structure to cell division process
Dynamic modeling helps predict the behaviors of gut microbes
The human gut is teeming with microbes, each interacting with one another in a mind-boggling network of positive and negative
Not junk: ‘Jumping gene’ is critical for early embryo: Gene that makes up a fifth of the human genome is not a parasite, but key to the first stages of embryonic development
A so-called “jumping gene” that researchers long considered either genetic junk or a pernicious parasite is actually a critical regulator
Fetal T cells are first responders to infection in adults
Cornell University researchers have discovered there is a division of labor among immune cells that fight invading pathogens in the
Gene therapy restores hand function after spinal cord injury in rats
Researchers at King’s College London have shown that rats with spinal cord injuries can re-learn skilled hand movements after being
A new kind of vaccine based on spider silk
To fight cancer, researchers increasingly use vaccines that stimulate the immune system to identify and destroy tumour cells. However, the
Improved ape genome assemblies provide new insights into human evolution: Better understanding of genetic influences on primate and human brain differences was also gained through comparative organoid models
New, higher-quality assemblies of great ape genomes have now been generated without the guidance of the human reference genome. The
