Study Uncovers Sex Specific Coordinated Stem Cell Dynamics in Skin Repair

By filming skin stem cells in living mice over five months, researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, have discovered that in females these cells renew the skin in a more coordinated way than in males.

Comprehensive Analysis of Emerging Strategies for Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinases in Cancer

More than 30 years after the direct connection was established between the molecular machinery controlling cell division and cancer, a new paper traces the evolution of cyclin-dependent kinase research and outlines the next generation of CDK-targeted therapies.

Cryo-EM Snapshots Capture Multi-Stage Structural Transitions During DNA Recombination

Bacteriophages, or viruses that infect bacteria, have a fiendishly simple purpose in life: attach to a bacterial cell, inject their DNA, and then use the host's genetic machinery to reproduce. In doing so, they may have evolved some of the most efficient gene editing tools ever seen in nature.

Scientists Discover Cell Division Mechanism Driving Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Experts from the University of Nottingham have discovered how a common genetic mutation disrupts the positioning of a key protein during cell division, revealing a new mechanism behind acute myeloid leukemia and a potential avenue for future treatment.

Single-Nucleosome Imaging Tracks Chromatin Movement in Asynchronous Human Cells

Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin.

Human Stem Cell-Derived Mini Retinas Model Viral Pathology in Developing Eyes

Dr. Vaithi Arumugaswami, professor of molecular and medical pharmacology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Dr. Ashok Kumar, professor of ophthalmology, visual and anatomical sciences at Wayne State University School of Medicine, have received a four-year, $2.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue their study of how Zika virus damages the developing eye and to identify drug-based strategies that could protect babies’ vision.

Study: Maternal Autoantibodies Targeting IL-1RA Trigger Premature Labor

A typical pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but for about 1 in 10 pregnant women labor begins too soon. Premature or preterm birth is the leading cause of newborn deaths worldwide. Yet doctors have struggled to understand why preterm birth occurs - or how to predict which pregnancies are at highest risk.

Biochemists Map the Cellular Machinery Behind Nuclear Pore Construction

The cells of higher organisms such as mammals, flies and fungi enclose their genetic material in a nucleus.

Lipid Nanoparticles Reprogram NK Cells Internally to Eliminate Cancerous T Cells

MIT engineers have developed a new way to program natural killer (NK) immune cells to target cancerous T cells or T cells that have become autoreactive, leading to diseases such as lymphoma and autoimmune hepatitis.

Massive Tumor Cell Analysis Reveals Secret Mechanism Behind Pancreatic Cancer Resistance

A new analysis of nearly half a million cells from dozens of pancreatic tumors, led by researchers at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and New York University (NYU), reveals how pancreatic cancer cells continuously reshape their genetic makeup over time, enabling them to evade treatment.

Time Capsule Fungus Offers Opportunity for Rare Glimpse into 50 Years of Wheat Disease Evolution

A pair of tiny glass vials sealed away for half a century could provide novel insights into one of Australia's most damaging wheat diseases when a 50-year-old time capsule is opened on October 17, 2026.

Transcriptional Repression Mechanism Prevents Protective Immune Pathways From Triggering Autoimmunity

A preclinical study by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center has discovered how a protein called ZBTB44 helps prevent excessive immune activity that can cause inflammation in the colon, the main section of the large intestine. The findings, published in Nature Immunology, may help explain how immune responses go awry in a range of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases

Nagoya University Team Identifies BCAT1 Enzyme as Key Driver of Cardiac Fibrosis

Heart failure often develops after a heart attack because excessive collagen-based scar tissue forms during repair. While collagen is necessary to reinforce scars, disease and chronic inflammation can cause overproduction, which stiffens the heart muscle and impairs its pumping ability.

Three-Dimensional Genome Architecture Actively Dictates Phenotypic Novelties in Octopuses

Octopuses, squid and cuttlefish, collectively known as coleoid cephalopods, have evolved exceptionally large and elaborately structured nervous systems capable of complex behaviors such as problem-solving and rapid camouflage.

Study Creates Global Single-Cell Map of Human Immune System Aging

While birthday candles measure the number of years someone has lived, they don't always tell the full story about someone's health.

Epigenetic DNA Methylation Clocks Track Gradual Cellular Rejuvenation Across Fifty Days

Researchers from the University Hospital of Bonn and the University of Bonn have succeeded in dramatically rejuvenating human cells in a test tube. To do so, they directly reprogrammed red blood cell precursors into stem cells from which neurons can be derived. During this process, the molecular clocks that indicate a cell's age were reset.
