A new study led by Prof. Yosef Buganim from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Dr. Abdenour Soufi from the University of Edinburgh reveals how transcription factors (TFs)—key proteins that ...

The immune system relies on specialized “effector” T cells to fight off pathogens. However, in chronic infections such as cancer or HIV, the perpetual activation of these cells can turn them into ...

A scientific team led by researchers at Trinity College Dublin reports the discovery of new mechanisms involved in establishing cellular identity, a process that ensures the billions of different ...

To exert their correct function, cells have to maintain their cell identity established during development and tissues regeneration. During development, extrinsic and intrinsic signaling cascades pave ...

Chromatin accessibility is crucial in regulating gene expression and maintaining cellular identity. While single-cell RNA sequencing has revolutionized transcriptomic profiling, the understanding of ...

The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...

Historically, scientists have studied how cells develop and give rise to specialized cells, such as heart, liver, or skin cells, by examining specific proteins. However, it remains unclear how many of ...

The decision between scrambled eggs or an apple for breakfast probably won't make or break your day. However, for your cells, a decision between similar microscopic nutrients could determine their ...

A new study from North Carolina State University shows a reproducible way of studying cellular communication among varied types of plant cells by "bioprinting" these cells via a 3D printer. Learning ...
