A single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii has quietly infected roughly one-third of the global population, settling into brain tissue where it forms cysts that can persist for a lifetime. Most ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

Now, new research by Penn State scientists has revealed this vital process may be governed by a previously unknown molecular ...

In June, 2025, the Wellcome Trust announced an ambitious £10 million UK project called the Synthetic Human Genome Project (SynHG) and claimed it “will unlock a deeper understanding of life, leading to ...

Humans develop sharp vision during early fetal development thanks to an interplay between a vitamin A derivative and thyroid hormones in the retina. The findings could upend decades of ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

A research team has developed the "SUPER (Synthetic Upcycling Platform for Engineering Regulators)" platform, which dramatically enhances the performance and stability of gene regulatory devices. This ...

Professor Jongmin Kim’s research team at POSTECH develops ‘SUPER’ platform, significantly enhancing the performance and ...

A groundbreaking brain atlas maps nearly 680,000 cells to reveal how the human brain develops at the single-cell level. The discovery could transform Parkinson’s research by setting new standards for ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to ...

“For many cell-based therapies, progress comes from connecting the right pieces at the right moment,” Klein said. “When ...
