SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools ...

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

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted ...

Scientists identify the first non-coding gene that directly controls cell size, reshaping how biology explains growth and ...

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

Background Fermented foods are a promising yet underexplored intervention for influencing brain function and mental health through the gut–brain axis. Objective The objective of this study was to ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

Three-dimensional multicellular human liver model: For the first time, a 3D human organoid model, developed with liver tissue ...

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that normally happen too quickly to observe can be studied in detail – and ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...
