Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...

T cells are central mediators of autoimmune disease pathogenesis, yet their functional states are not defined solely by antigen recognition or canonical ...

Research into cell cycle regulation and size control in microorganisms has yielded a nuanced understanding of how these entities maintain homeostasis and synchronise growth with division. In both ...

Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells and play a central role in sensing ...

Conventional studies on stem cell fates are primarily focused on transcription factors, with the limited consideration for 3D genome architecture. The cohesin complex dynamically restructures ...

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept, the ...

Researchers from the University of Seville have participated in research to identify the molecular details of the regulation of an enzyme essential for sugar metabolism and closely linked to cell ...

A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die. Scientists have long known that mitochondria—a cell's tiny power plants—pull ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – November 6, 2025) The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme’s “tail” called phosphorylation patterns.

Researchers create a magnetic nanoscale system that reversibly switches groove and ridge structures to regulate stem cell adhesion and differentiation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Tissue regeneration depends ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...
