A newly released publication examines how deuterium concentration may influence gene activity in lung cancer cells. The study explores how shifts in this ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how calcium signaling channels in microglia—the primary immune cells of the ...

When considering the drugs most likely to cause former addicts to repeatedly relapse, opioids, cocaine, and methamphetamine ...

Scientists discovered 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences—some hundreds of millions of years old—using Conservatory, a new comparative plant genomics platform.

Twenty genes mapped to their precise three-dimensional locations within a developing embryo, with each color representing the expression pattern of a single gene. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are ...

A study involving a small cohort of women who have received womb transplants has cast fresh light on how the immune system shapes pregnancy outcomes, opening up new avenues of research into ...

TraitSeq CEO Josh Colmer explores how AI-powered analysis of genomics and other “omics” data is accelerating crop protection ...

Researchers discovered that a small region of the PRC2 protein complex acts as a functional switch controlling gene silencing. Removing this domain stopped cancer cell growth, highlighting a potential ...

A team of scientists has identified an unexpected embryonic "starting point" for several brown-fat depots: a small cell niche around the dorsal aorta. Using a combination of time-controlled genetic ...

In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...

Hasslers, or people in one’s close social network who make life difficult, may have consequences on ageing, with each additional hassler associated with about 1.5 per cent faster ageing and a ...
