All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

From microglia reprogramming to immune cell-based diagnostics, 2025 was a big year for breakthroughs in cell biology.

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...
