Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

Drugs to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases - such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or Chrousos syndrome - ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

An essential component of the lymphatic system, the thymus, a pyramid-shaped organ located in the thoracic cavity, is responsible for producing T-cells. For centuries, the thymus was believed to be an ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers created “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have ...

Digital camera images of the entire body (top left) and dorsal mantle (top right) of a squid show the splotches’ blue, green, yellow, orange and red iridescent (angle-dependent) colors. An individual ...

In 2020 biologist Michael Levin and his colleagues reported that they had made “biological robots” by shaping clusters of cells into tiny artificial forms that could “walk” around on surfaces. Levin’s ...
