At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential biological mechanisms. This discovery could transform our understanding of certain ...

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems.

Stem cells age faster and become functionally exhausted in low Earth orbit, making crewed long-duration space travel even ...

A TED Talk-style presentation on the effects of tangled DNA strands took first place at this year's Postdoc Slam competition, which is held in celebration of National Postdoc Appreciation Week.

“While the rest of the genome shuffles between the maternal and paternal origins, centromeres are inherited intact: one from ...

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

Researchers have now discovered that HAR123, a regulatory gene sequence, is an important factor in human brain development. Even though humans are closely related to chimps, the slight differences in ...

The reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, retinal pigment epithelial line RPE-1, is completed.

A research team led by Professor Simona Giunta at the University of Rome La Sapienza has produced the first reference-quality ...
