Programmable CRISPR tools are turning stem cell biology into something closer to software engineering, shrinking ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

CGTE researchers Dr. Stelios Andreadis, center director, and Dr. Kirk Personius are lead co-authors of a paper in the October 24th edition of Nature Communications. This study describes experiments ...

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by genetic diseases that modern medicine struggles to cure. Many of these conditions stem not from mutations but from gene silencing, where ...

Morphoceuticals is a biotechnology company that surveys the body’s nonneural bioelectric signaling networks. These networks, which enable disparate cells to serve collective purposes, constitute the ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.
