A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity. We started thinking: 'What if we could light up the brain from the inside?

Using laboratory-evolved versions of CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) from bacteria, scientists at the Broad Institute and Columbia University were able to insert healthy genes into human cells ...

Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

These bulges are made from actin, a protein that helps shape the cell, and they weren’t stopped by certain inhibitors, meaning the process may be similar to other cell activities. Once the virus ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

The ability to restore light responses in human retinas postmortem offers a novel model for studying retinal recovery and ...

A human female is born with all the egg cells she will ever have. The possibility for the development of new oocytes is zero. Given this constraint, it is crucial that these gametes remain healthy and ...

Left: UMAP projections of CD8⁺/WPRE⁺ (adoptive T cells) and CD8⁺/WPRE⁻ (endogenous T cells) cells mapped onto a reference TIL atlas reveal a reduced prevalence of exhausted CD8⁺ T cells and enrichment ...
