Study Advances Understanding of the Deep Evolutionary History of Viruses

Researchers have proposed a new evolutionary model for the origin of a kingdom of viruses called Bamfordvirae, suggesting a billion-years evolutionary arms race between two groups within this kingdom and their hosts.

Study Reveals That Transcriptional Buffering Occurs in Rett Syndrome Nerve Cells

Every cell in our body is able to turn genes (DNA) on or off, producing RNA, but when genes are 'turned on' to the wrong level it can result in a variety of health conditions.

Inhibiting a Tiny RNA Could Help Improve Immune, Bone, and Muscle Health With Age

Inhibiting a tiny RNA whose levels significantly increase with age, along with problems like weaker bones and sagging muscles, may be a way to keep our bodies more youthful and healthy, scientists say.

Deep Learning Model for Label-Free Identification of Different Cancer Cells

Cancer cells that initiate metastasis, or the spread of the disease from its primary location, are different from cancer cells that stay in the original tumor. Distinguishing metastasis-initiating cell types can determine the severity of cancer and help medical practitioners decide on a course of treatment.

Analyzing the Cell Division in Stem Cells

What appears to be a simple task for a cell—splitting in two—is indeed a complex series of engineering puzzles. To produce two working cells, a splitting cell has to maneuver its interiors in such a way that the appropriate components will end up in each cell.

Genes Responsible for Aging Identified in Nematodes

The USask research team uncovered a pair of genes involved in removing cells of toxins that build in the body and cause aging while working with small nematode worms called C. elegans. The researchers discovered that inactivating genes named CCF-1 and PAL-1 caused nematodes to die 50% faster than usual.
