Study Reveals That Transcriptional Buffering Occurs in Rett Syndrome Nerve Cells

Every cell in our body is able to turn genes (DNA) on or off, producing RNA, but when genes are 'turned on' to the wrong level it can result in a variety of health conditions.

Inhibiting a Tiny RNA Could Help Improve Immune, Bone, and Muscle Health With Age

Inhibiting a tiny RNA whose levels significantly increase with age, along with problems like weaker bones and sagging muscles, may be a way to keep our bodies more youthful and healthy, scientists say.

Deep Learning Model for Label-Free Identification of Different Cancer Cells

Cancer cells that initiate metastasis, or the spread of the disease from its primary location, are different from cancer cells that stay in the original tumor. Distinguishing metastasis-initiating cell types can determine the severity of cancer and help medical practitioners decide on a course of treatment.

Analyzing the Cell Division in Stem Cells

What appears to be a simple task for a cell—splitting in two—is indeed a complex series of engineering puzzles. To produce two working cells, a splitting cell has to maneuver its interiors in such a way that the appropriate components will end up in each cell.

Genes Responsible for Aging Identified in Nematodes

The USask research team uncovered a pair of genes involved in removing cells of toxins that build in the body and cause aging while working with small nematode worms called C. elegans. The researchers discovered that inactivating genes named CCF-1 and PAL-1 caused nematodes to die 50% faster than usual.

How Bacteria Take Action to Break Out of Dormancy

Solving a riddle that has confounded biologists since bacterial spores -; inert, sleeping bacteria -; were first described more than 150 years ago, researchers at Harvard Medical School have discovered a new kind of cellular sensor that allows spores to detect the presence of nutrients in their environment and quickly spring back to life.

Biological Condensates Harbor Electrical Imbalances That Spark "Redox" Reactions

The human body relies heavily on electrical charges. Lightning-like pulses of energy fly through the brain and nerves and most biological processes depend on electrical ions traveling across the membranes of each cell in our body.

Occludin Protein Plays a Critical Role in Cell-to-Cell Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Virus

While the coronavirus continues to infect people around the world, researchers at the University of Missouri have identified a specific protein inside the human body that plays a critical role in how the virus spreads from cell to cell after infection -; a discovery that will help better understand the COVID-19 disease and could lead to the development of new antiviral drugs in the future.
