Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membrane-bound particles released by cells to transport proteins and other molecules to ...

"By following universal paralogs," says Kaçar, "we can connect the earliest steps of life on Earth to the tools of modern ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

The idea of self-amplifying gene editing is to get cells to pass on packages of CRISPR machinery to their neighbours, boosting the effect ...

A new study from Whitehead Institute Member Jonathan Weissman reveals how cells may activate a compensation system that can, in some cases, reduce the effects of potentially harmful genetic mutations.

Life’s story may stretch further back than scientists once thought. Some genes found in nearly every organism today were already duplicated before all life shared a common ancestor. By tracking these ...

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice ...

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have ...

Targeting OTULIN has proven to eliminate toxic tau proteins in human neurons for the first time, opening a new avenue for treating dementia.

From molecular chaperones to mitochondrial failure, discover how heat reshapes the human transcriptome and drives the biological cascade that links rising temperatures to organ injury and public ...
