Actin filaments respond to pressure by forming branches at their curviest spots, helping resist the push.
Germline stem cells discovered in human ovaries can be cultured into fresh eggs.
Human-specific duplications of a gene involved in brain development may have contributed to our species’ unique intelligence.
Human embryonic stem cells swiftly kill themselves in response to DNA damage.
Genes that react to cellular sugar content are regulated by a long non-coding RNA via an unexpected mechanism
From accounts of deformed animals to scratch-and-sniff technology, Robert Boyle's early contributions to the Royal Society of London were prolific and wide ranging.
During development, the cells of an embryo change their pattern of gene expression, which allows them to detach from their original location and migrate to another part of the embryo, where the pattern changes again to allow formation of a new organ.
A flood of new discoveries has refined our definition of cancer stem cells. Now it’s up to human clinical trials to test if they can make a difference in patients.
The human brain is an organized, 3D grid composed of elegant, ribbon-like fibers.
