When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

Even in the best-case scenario, when fertility clinics transfer chromosomally normal embryos into a would-be mother's uterus, ...

While physicians and scientists have long known that Alzheimer's disease involves the buildup of toxic protein fragments in ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

Through a combination of human NSC analysis in the lab and mouse model experiments, the researchers singled out a protein ...

Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

The biological cycle of our existence seems relatively straightforward: we’re born, we live, we die. The end. But when you examine existence at the cellular level, things get a bit more interesting.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: With more than 100,000 people in need of an organ transplant in the U.S. alone, scientists have turned toward perfecting human-animal chimeras as a ...

This repository contains a modular, reproducible pipeline for predicting cell cycle phases (G1, S, G2M) from single-cell RNA-seq data using deep learning and traditional machine learning models.

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...
