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 ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

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

Why does cancer sometimes recur after chemotherapy? Why do some bacteria survive antibiotic treatment? In many cases, the answer appears to lie not in genetic differences, but in biological noise — ...

(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.

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors to new methods for ...

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 ...

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 ...
