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

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

How can a virus with only five proteins dominate a human cell that contains thousands? This question has long puzzled scientists, faced with the incredible efficiency of pathogens like the ...

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases ...
