Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers have used a novel approach to show how they ...

Though it may be a while before similar personalized treatments are available for others, doctors hope the technology can ...

News broke yesterday that researchers in Philadelphia appear to have successfully treated a 6-month-old baby boy, called KJ, ...

The authors confirm that telomeres in telomerase-positive cells terminate with 5'-ATC in a Pot1-dependent manner, and demonstrate that this principle holds true in telomerase-negative ALT cells as ...

When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells—a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions—they ...

In the study, researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing to modify a type of immune cell called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). By deactivating a gene called CISH, the researchers found that ...

Aneuploidy is a major cause of birth defects, a hallmark of cancer, and a reflection of the dosage sensitivity of genes involved in quantitative traits. Most studies on how aneuploidy affects gene ...

Xiao Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a new way in which temperature can influence the fate of plant cells by ...

To accomplish this, the plant relies on two groups of proteins that silence gene expression ... of H3K27me3—the highly conserved eukaryotic epigenetic marker added by PRC2.
