Cross-species research shows that RNA splicing patterns, not just gene activity, track maximum lifespan in mammals, revealing ...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have built a platform that steers cell behavior using ...

Our immune systems function by employing two separate responses when in contact with disease. The first is the innate immune system, which aids in monitoring for infection throughout the body. Innate ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

In heart failure, the heart can no longer supply the body with enough blood. The condition often develops over many years, ...

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

The immune system faces a delicate balancing act: it must be aggressive enough to fight infections and cancer, yet restrained enough to avoid attacking the body's own tissues. More than two decades ...

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ...

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all ...
