Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school.

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

The first animals must also have invented ways to produce the many different kinds of cells we have today; muscle cells, ...

For the first time, scientists have developed a laboratory-grown version of the adrenal cortex — the outer part of the ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have uncovered a ...

In the fight against disease, programmed cell death – also known as apoptosis – is a key protective function of the body. It breaks down cells that are damaged or have undergone dangerous changes.

An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle ...

New findings underscore the importance of regular social interactions in life, shedding light on the strong link between ...
