This study offers a valuable methodological advance by introducing a gene panel selection approach that captures combinatorial specificity to define cell identity. The findings address key limitations ...

Recent progress in high-throughput sequencing has uncovered an astounding landscape of small RNAs in eukaryotic cells. Various small RNAs of distinctive characteristics have been found and can be ...

One of our most contentious debates may now have an answer. Dogs, it turns out, have about twice the number of neurons in their cerebral cortexes than what cats have, which suggests they could be ...

One mechanism for generating cellular diversity during development is to segregate cell-fate determinants predominantly into one daughter cell upon division. This review emphasizes the molecular ...

The science is unsettled, but researchers say there is cause for concern. Tiny plastic particles like these—called microplastics—are added to some exfoliating skincare gels and can get into the ...
