Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," ...

According to the researchers, problems with how cells handle and process cargo are at the root of many genetic diseases. Since the hemifusome plays a role in the management of these cellular processes ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Single-cell analysis is a ubiquitous laboratory technique that allows researchers to probe the myriad biomolecular states of cells. Single-cell assays can reveal gene and protein expression patterns, ...
