Super-enhancers are a specialized class of functional, non-coding RNA molecules transcribed directly from regions of the ...
Beyond the nucleus, no other organelle in eukaryotic cells captures the public's imagination quite like mitochondria: They are the engines of cellular energy production; they possess their own DNA, ...
Every human cell has millions of ribosomes that make proteins. For decades, biologists thought of ribosomes as tiny, uniform machines. But now a Stanford Medicine team is showing that ribosomes are ...
Researchers have mapped DNA methylation and 3D genome contacts in the same cells. The atlas uncovers cell-type-specific ...
In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in transcribing DNA into RNA, and ribosomes, which bring up the rear translating ...
Much of the genome is made up of repetitive DNA sequences that trace back to ancient mobile elements, many of which have lost their ability to copy themselves into new locations but can still cause ...
News media are currently buzzing about “SpudCell,” claiming that scientists have finally created life in the lab. CNN, for ...
Many organisms can tell what time of year it is without a calendar (even bacteria), which turns out to be pretty useful.
On March 18, 2026, Frost & Sullivan and Forbes China Group jointly hosted the 2026 FORBES CHINA PIONEER INNOVATORS IN INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT SELECTION ...
A researcher's guide to spatial transcriptomics: how sequencing- and imaging-based methods work, and how to choose a platform ...
EFPIA has called for lawmakers to go beyond the reductions in clinical trial approval times proposed in the Biotech Act.
