Epigenetic clock predicts the future growth of cancer cells

A team of researchers from IDIBAPS-Hospital Clínic and the University of Barcelona has headed an international study to design an epigenetic clock that can track the amount of cancer cells that have multiplied previously.

Researchers create “developmental atlas” to classify the neurons of fruit flies

Using machine learning and gene sequencing, scientists from New York University have designed a “developmental atlas” of gene expression in neurons to classify over 250,000 neurons in the brains of fruit flies.

Study sheds new light on key protein implicated in tumor development

A study headed by the University of Colorado Boulder has revealed a specific protein that is crucial for regulating the growth, proliferation, and function of cells, and how these cells were long implicated in the development of tumors.

Scientists identify a genetic basis for ANCA-associated vasculitis

Autoimmune disease is fundamentally a mystery: whyever should an organism systematically set out to harm itself? Now, researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified a genetic basis for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, an autoimmune systemic disease that damages organs by targeting small blood vessels in a genetic association study.

Teratomas could provide a new glance at human development

Finding just the right model to study human development--from the early embryonic stage onward--has been a challenge for scientists over the last decade.

Researchers use AI tool to study the dynamics behind cancer, Alzheimer’s disease

With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), scientists from the University of Copenhagen have solved a crucial issue that, to date, has been a major barrier to significant protein research into the dynamics behind various diseases, like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and also in the development of novel gene-editing techniques and sustainable chemistry.

Novel computational method quantifies the coordination level between different genes

Although all humans share similar changes during aging such as gray hair, wrinkles, and a general decline in function, aging is considered to be the result of a cellular wear-and-tear process due to accumulated random damage, such as genetic mutations or DNA structural damage.

Researchers identify evolutionarily conserved pathway responsible for "closing down" gene activity

University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new and evolutionarily conserved pathway responsible for "closing down" gene activity in the mammalian cell.

Metagenomic sequencing data reveals the major drivers of speciation, adaptation in corals

A new study led by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) revealed that diversity in Hawaiian corals is likely driven by co-evolution between the coral host, the algal symbiont, and the microbial community.
