In the rapidly evolving landscape of biological research, understanding the heterogeneity within cell populations has become a defining challenge. While ...

Physical forces from gravity, muscle contraction, and more have strong impacts on how the cells in our bodies behave. For instance, weight-bearing exercise helps stave off osteoporosis because cells ...

A new single‑cell sequencing method is giving researchers a clearer view of how immune cells actually behave—capturing not just what they plan to do, but what they are doing in real time. The platform ...

A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

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 ...

Researchers uncovered a powerful weakness in lung cancer by shutting down a protein that helps tumors survive stress. When this protein, FSP1, was blocked, lung tumors in mice shrank dramatically, ...

A new molecular recording strategy is giving researchers a way to capture DNA–protein interactions in single cells, including the weak and transient contacts that shape gene regulation but often slip ...
