In the past decade there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...

In new research, scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in collaboration with ...

The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. While each cell contains the complete genetic blueprint of an organism, chemical marks ...

Banding patterns of cellulose increase the stability of plant cell walls, much like the corrugated patterns in cardboard. Penn State biologists developed a method to isolate plant cells and observe ...
