A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...
We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...
This is a top-down cross-section of one of the 3D hollow spheres (lumenoids) that our cells can create. The different colors are for different proteins, which allows you to see some striking ...
The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...
The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...
In two new studies, scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered detailed blueprints of how certain molecular "gates" in human cells work—findings that could open doors to new ...
Researchers have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer. The research uncovers the vital role ...
Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...
Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...
Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production ...
Researchers from the University of Sydney have developed a system that mimics natural selection inside living mammalian cells but in a very controlled setting. They call it PROTEUS, short for PROTein ...
No one saw the blob takeover coming. In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying ...
