In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...
DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.
A new study suggests that a little-known region deep in the brain could be crucial for preserving physical strength as we age. The findings could help ...
A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...
Although the gut renews itself constantly, its stem cells accumulate age-related molecular changes that quietly alter how ...
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own genomes, but most of their proteins are encoded in the nucleus. The coordination of separate genomes is achieved by both anterograde mechanisms (nucleus ...
A breakthrough in neural sensing technology has been achieved through collaboration between Professor Cai Xinxia's team from the National Key Laboratory of Sensor Technology at the Aerospace ...
What started out as a medication for diabetes and weight loss is offering something quite unexpected for many women. Experts ...
Long before a liver tumor appears, a high-fat diet can push liver cells into a risky survival mode. That is the central ...
Understanding the dynamic neural mechanisms of sleep-wake cycles is a major challenge in sleep science and neuroengineering.
