A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and disease. Cedars-Sinai researchers have identified a biological repair process ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Afadin-deficient mice, whose outer-retinal lamination and photoreceptor synapses are severely disrupted, nonetheless partially retain retinal neural circuits and visual function.

Scientists rely on cytokines, growth factors, and other agents to direct and create different types of organoid models.
