Research into cell cycle regulation and size control in microorganisms has yielded a nuanced understanding of how these entities maintain homeostasis and synchronise growth with division. In both ...

T cells are central mediators of autoimmune disease pathogenesis, yet their functional states are not defined solely by antigen recognition or canonical ...

Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...

Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells and play a central role in sensing ...

Conventional studies on stem cell fates are primarily focused on transcription factors, with the limited consideration for 3D genome architecture. The cohesin complex dynamically restructures ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – November 6, 2025) The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme’s “tail” called phosphorylation patterns.

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept, the ...

Researchers create a magnetic nanoscale system that reversibly switches groove and ridge structures to regulate stem cell adhesion and differentiation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Tissue regeneration depends ...
