Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with ...

Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...

The model demonstrates never-before-seen potential in human pluripotent stem cells Key takeawaysFor the first time, stem cells typically considered ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method is a powerful strategy for identifying intricate ...

A new biochemical method identifies RNA 3D structures and protein binding sites in cells. It reveals how RNA folding drives ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.
