Zebrafish have the remarkable and rare ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage. New research from Caltech and ...

We're a step closer to two men being able to have genetic children of their own after the creation of fertile mice by putting ...

Males imprint their DNA by adding methyl modifications to it in a way that alters the activity of genes in order to promote ...

Researchers at Israel's prestigious Weizmann Institute of Science have been scrambling to save their experiments after an ...

Anthony Bianco, from London, was 21 when he was diagnosed with primary mediastinal non-seminomatous germ cell tumour (PMNSGCT) - a rare type of cancer that develops from germ cells ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) maintain a low translation rate; therefore control of mRNA translation is critical for preserving their stemness. We identified a hitherto unstudied transcription factor, ...

Objective: To test the hypothesis that human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be guided to form new myocardium by transplantation into the normal or infarcted heart, and to assess the influence of ...

These glow-in-the-dark axolotls can regrow lost limbs — and studying them could eventually help humans do the same.

Tiny flexible electrodes were implanted into tadpole embryos when they were days old, allowing them to completely embed into ...

To study the genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder, a Kobe University research team has created a bank of 63 mouse ...

Dynamic CpG methylation ‘barcodes’ were read from 15,000–21,000 single cells from three human male brains. To overcome sparse sequencing coverage, the barcode had ~31,000 rapidly fluctuating ...

During embryonic development, thousands of cells divide and move as one. Understanding the mechanisms that coordinate this collective behavior remains a significant challenge in biology and the ...
