Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

The “warm” data in the middle, such as your old photos, can take a few seconds to retrieve. Most data is cold, and a lot of ...

This groundbreaking finding suggests that Telomir-1 may selectively benefit healthy cells while suppressing malignant growth, challenging the assumption that telomere-elongating drugs inherently ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

Using an unbiased approach, this important study discovered a role of Ezh2 in the differentiation of granule neuron precursors, the cell of origin for Shh group of medulloblastoma. Furthermore, the ...
