Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory found that Dicer, an ancient RNA-cutting protein shared by humans and yeast, prevents DNA damage by pausing genetic processes that collide during transcription and replication.

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia, inspiring new kinds of treatments.

Scientific review discusses how new advances in 3D bioprinting, organoids, organs on-a-chip aid in the fight against cancer.

Yale researchers have created a new method for simulating “aging-like” chromosome errors in mouse eggs to better understand female reproductive lifespan.

Discover how leucine – an amino acid found in meat, dairy and legumes – increases cellular energy, opening new possibilities for treating metabolic diseases.

A new AI model called Nicheformer restores spatial context to single-cell data, showing how cells organize within tissues. Developed by Helmholtz Munich and TUM, the model bridges single-cell and spatial transcriptomics.

A new bioengineering platform enables the large-scale production of human kidney organoids that can be perfused within pig kidneys, maintaining viability and function without immune rejection.

In the fight against disease, programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis, is a key protective function of the body. A research team has now successfully identified a new molecular switch in this process and elucidated its mechanism of action.

Researchers found that brief hypoxia, experienced at altitude or during illness, reprograms bone marrow progenitors, creating neutrophils less effective at fighting bacteria. This epigenetic “memory” persisted for months in climbers after descent.

Washington University researchers discovered how yellow fever and tick-borne encephalitis viruses enter human cells and created decoy molecules that block infection, paving the way for new antiviral therapies.
