Our evolutionary advantage over our primate relatives may come down to accelerated genetic expression in just six types of brain cells.

Researchers think stopping necrosis, a harmful form of cell death, could prevent inflammation, protect aging organs, and ...

So is it actually possible for adults to grow neurons? While some experts believe there's strong evidence that we can gain ...

Life runs on information. In living systems, that information takes two main forms: the genome and the epigenome.

New research published in Nature Communications into hidden mutations in mitochondrial DNA has uncovered how high mutational ...

In a 2014 Nature paper, Ralston described this awkward process — trogocytosis, or “cell nibbling.” It was a revelation at the ...

Researchers have identified an early postnatal window that allows gene transfer to circulating blood stem cells, advancing ...

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems are ...
