How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.

A recent study suggests that memories aren’t just stored in the brain, raising important questions about cognition.

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

The study, published in Nature Communications scientific journal, uncovered clues in a decades-long mystery surrounding the relationship between early pregnancy and breast cancer risk.

Single-cell omics is a transformative area within life sciences, enabling researchers to untangle cellular heterogeneity, uncover developmental lineages, ...

A new study from experts with Georgia State University has achieved a long-standing goal in neuroscience: showing how the brain's smallest components build the systems that shape thought, emotion and ...

Spatial proteomics is a spatial biology method that helps study the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular ...
