Gut throws cells overboard when chemical insults build up
A team of Duke researchers has discovered that cells lining the gut of zebrafish — and probably humans too —
Lung cell patches its own DNA on the fly to survive influenza: Resilient cells make lung less hospitable to viruses, but may be double-edged sword
Scientists at Duke University have identified one kind of lung cell that can hustle to repair its damaged DNA and
Genome research shows that the body controls the integrity of heritable genomes
Scientists have presented new findings that challenge established concepts of genetic inheritance. They have proven that somatic cells of the
HIV: Reprogramming cells to control infection
Cells from the rare individuals who naturally control HIV infection have been the focus of investigation for nearly 15 years
Breakthrough in how cells link together has implications in the proliferation of cancer
For cancer to be successful — from its point of view, anyway — the disease has to find a way
Spatial DNA organization forms first, then the rest
The fundamental organization of the DNA in active and inactive compartments arises immediately after fertilization of the oocyte, even before
Dead zones in circadian clocks
Most organisms have circadian clocks. In mammals, the circadian pacemaker is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain.
Combining opioids and marijuana may be advantageous for pain sufferers: Study suggests using the two drugs together could reduce risk of dependency without causing cognitive problems
Researchers report combining cannabinoids with morphine did not significantly increase impulsivity or memory impairment in a study conducted in rhesus
In mice, single population of stem cells contributes to lifelong hippocampal neurogenesis
Scientists once thought that mammals entered adulthood with all of the neurons they would ever have, but studies from the
