A team of Vanderbilt researchers has revealed some of the mechanisms by which polyps develop into colorectal cancer, setting the framework for improved surveillance for the cancer utilizing precision...

Ability to combine cell function and spatial information key to understanding life at molecular level The study of the human body at single-cell...

In a new study, scientists at the University of Missouri demonstrate the direct transmission of bisphenol A (BPA) from a mother to her...

Higher organisms store their genetic material in the nuclei of cells as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In a process called transcription, individual segments, the genes, are converted into messenger ribonucleic...

Researchers have uncovered thousands of new alternate RNA versions, or isoforms, of brain-expressed genes, including some involved in autism, according to a new study. Several of the RNA isoforms are expressed at different levels during brain...

A study of pregnant women’s blood RNA has found specific molecular profiles that identify women at risk of pre-eclampsia. These insights can identify...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine have found new potential drug targets to treat atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease by developing and implementing a new single-cell sequencing...

Single cell RNA-sequencing is a recently developed technique that allows studying the biological function of different types of cells, one cell at a time...

Scientists have discovered that genes in human embryos rapidly become active after fertilisation, opening a new window onto the start of human embryonic life. The finding that some genes are active from the get-go challenges the textbook view that genes ...

A tiny region at the root tip has been found to be responsible for orchestrating the growth and development of the complex network of vascular...
