What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

Tears seem simple, but the tiny glands that produce them are among the least understood organs in the human body. By growing ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly simple “tissue code”: five rules that choreograph when, where, and how cells divide, move, and die, allowing organs like the colon to remain flawlessly ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for ...
