Researchers edited several tree genes to improve suitability and sustainability in the pulp and paper industry.

Researchers find that UBQLN2 gene dysfunction causes a virus-like protein to accumulate in cells, which changes gene expression and may contribute to disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Researchers turn to high resolution sequencing to explain recurrent melanoma mutations caused by UV exposure.

Genetic screens have revealed three peripheral tissue genes that regulate sleep. What does this mean for sleep research?

Animals with human cells could provide donor organs or help us understand neuropsychiatric disorders.

Annie Curtis’s research team revealed how circadian rhythm-regulated mitochondrial metabolism drives dendritic cell antigen presentation activity.

Researchers showed that the delivery method affects the microbiome and plays a role in the infant vaccine immune response.

Skin moles that sprout thick, long hairs produce signaling molecules that stimulate hair follicle stem cells to initiate new hair growth. This discovery may make baldness a thing of the past.

Researchers scratch the surface of schizophrenia susceptibility by uncovering DNA methylation differences in neonatal blood samples.

Scientists are decoding how electrically stimulating transplanted stem cells helps heal the injured brain.

Researchers built a 3D glioblastoma model to study therapeutic resistance and improve drug screening systems.
