Researchers have identified the genes involved in the sea cucumber’s gory ritual of expelling and regenerating its gut. Will it become the next important animal model for studies into regenerative ...

Cell engineering as a field has developed rapidly in recent decades and is now entering therapeutic applications, but which are the key areas to watch in 2020? Cell engineering may be defined as the ...

Genetically altered SHANK proteins are linked to autism. A new study shows SHANKs play a powerful, unexpected role in cancer as well. SHANK regulates adhesion and protrusion in cancer cells and ...

The Nanoimager from Oxford NanoImaging (ONI) is a desktop-compatible, super-resolution, single-molecule fluorescence microscope capable of resolving structures with 20 nm resolution and a localization ...

Researchers unveil a new technique for studying neural connections in vivo in a recent study into Down’s syndrome. Transplanted human brain cells (green) and their nuclei (purple). Recent research, ...

Coffee and cake traditionally go hand in hand. But new research shows that caffeine might change your perception of sweetness. Drinking tea or coffee is a morning ritual for people around the world, ...

The genetic defects that cause cancer offer potential therapeutic targets. Now, researchers are targeting some of these genes—those essential to cell survival—to specifically kill cancer cells. SF3B1 ...

Microscopic plates have been designed and used to control the growth of model neurons. Researchers at the University of Tokyo (Japan) have developed a new technique to grow neurons along microscopic ...
