A designer version of the tau protein, developed by a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, maintains its ...

Inside your cells, mitochondria keep you alive by turning food into usable energy. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and Memorial University of Newfoundland are now exploring how to ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...
