Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

A guardian molecule ensures that liver cells do not lose their identity. The discovery is of great interest for cancer medicine because a change of identity of cells has come into focus as a ...

Achondroplasia, also known as short-limb dwarfism, is associated with neurological symptoms and complications due to ...

A new study has uncovered how an exceptionally scarce protein can orchestrate the assembly of large-scale gene-silencing structures inside cells, and what happens when that process breaks down. The ...

Molecular lesion data in LR-MDS prognostic models reduce the significance of traditional parameters like bone marrow blast percentage. Molecular data altered risk stratification for 30% of patients, ...

Three-letter DNA “words” can decide whether a yeast cell cranks out a medicine efficiently or sputters along. The words are ...

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed the cognitive decline seen in both healthy aging and dementia. It provides a deeper ...
