Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...
The study of genetics and cell fusion in filamentous fungi reveals a complex interplay between genetic regulation and cellular connectivity that is central to colony formation, development, and ...
Computational biologists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how RNA splicing – a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity - is regulated across ...
Cells are defined by the genes they express; protein-coding genes are carefully regulated so that the correct proteins will be active at the right times and places to carry out a cell's functions.
Every person who has ever been pregnant leaves a biological trace that is far more intimate than a family photo album. During ...
