Researchers have identified an unexpected mechanism that links age-related stress to the decline of blood-forming stem cells.

A tiny antibody component could fundamentally transform the treatment of cystic fibrosis: For the first time, researchers ...

AHNAK, a colossal scaffolding protein of approximately 700 kDa, has emerged as a critical player in various cellular functions, most notably in the regulation of cell architecture, signalling and ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

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 ...

As we age, stem cells responsible for maintaining our blood and immune systems gradually lose their resilience, but why this happens has remained unclear. A novel study from Japan and the US turns the ...

It can be estimated theoretically that more unique biological interactions exist than stars in our known universe. The ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...

Researchers identified GSK3α as a key checkpoint controlling stem cell identity across multiple cell types. Inhibiting it ...

Temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted the ...

Explore 25 biology facts the future will forget as science evolves. From DNA's 'blueprint' to mitochondria's 'powerhouse,' ...
