A Franco-British team of scientists has explored two human proteins recently identified as immune enzymes. Structural studies ...

In the earliest phase of creating human proteins, the protein complex NAC performs an essential task by starting the first ...

UNESCO, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), and the Global Exposome Forum (GEF) are jointly organizing the webinar series “Towards a Human Exposome Cell Atlas”. This second webinar in the series will focus on ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

In recent years, the field of stem cell and developmental biology has seen remarkable breakthroughs that have deepened our understanding of how organisms grow, age and regenerate, with major ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

A newly published study reports that APC-deficient cancer cells may depend on a single metabolic enzyme for survival, revealing a potential strategy for selectively targeting tumours associated with ...
