Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the ‘dark genome’ that are responsible for controlling how cells sense and respond to the ...
A new study from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and Institut Curie reveals how stem cells sense and respond to their environment, with implications for inflammatory bowel disease and ...
In a recent study published in Nature Genetics, researchers created a comprehensive atlas to elucidate the combined impacts of genetic inheritance and environmental exposures on the human immune ...
Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for good. They enter a state called replicative senescence, where growth ceases ...
When young donor myeloid cells are transplanted into aging mouse brains, they quickly adopt aging phenotypes. In contrast, old myeloid cells transplanted in young brains take on a more youthful aspect ...
