New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

This article explores how single-cell multiomics and spatial transcriptomics are illuminating early pregnancy, uncovering ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) arises from defective blood stem cells that progressively lose their normal functions.

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators ...

An international research team involving the German Primate Center – Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ), Hannover Medical School (MHH), and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of ...

Tears seem simple, but the tiny glands that produce them are among the least understood organs in the human body. By growing ...

In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or ...

Biologists have long suspected that aging is not just a slow, inevitable fraying of our cells but a process governed by specific molecular switches. A growing body of research now points to individual ...
