Covering the life sciences inside and out
Inflammatory signals in injured zebrafish brains promote the growth of new neurons.
Swapping chromosomes from one human egg to another could eliminate mitochondrial DNA mutations that cause disease.
Brain cells called pericytes can be reprogrammed into neurons with just two proteins, pointing to a novel way to treat neurodegenerative disorders.
Researchers show that DNA supercoils are dynamic structures that can “hop” long distances, a phenomenon that could affect gene regulation.
Stem cells collected from younger donors are more effective for transplantation and regenerative medicine than those from older individuals.
Researchers use UV light to stimulate protein production in nano-sized delivery capsules in mice.
Researchers devise a way to create predictably patterned microwrinkles.
Researchers track tumors as they develop, providing more support for the idea that cells with stem-cell-like properties underlie cancer growth and recurrence.
Researchers designed a microfluidics chip to separate cells using gravity and a force field.
Some of the interesting stories researchers were discussing at this year’s American Society of Microbiology meeting in San Francisco.
