According to a new study, a protein that masterminds the way DNA is wrapped within chromosomes has a major role in the healthy functioning of blood stem cells.

Researchers have explored the cellular changes that occur in human mammary tissue in lactating and non-lactating women, offering insight into the relationship between pregnancy, lactation, and breast cancer.

Structural proteomics can resolve the detailed structure of protein interactions and therefore may progress understanding of neurodegenerative disease treatments.

Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered hundreds of proteins that are constantly transported throughout the healthy brain in small membrane-enclosed sacs, revealing a new form of communication between brain cells.

After the removal of one gene, stem cells destined to become heart cells were transformed into brain cell precursors, according to research.

The process of gene "licensing" during replication has been revealed in detail.

Researchers have discovered that the chance a pathogenic genetic variant may actually cause a disease is about 7%, but some variants are linked to a wide range of risks for disease.

Targeting non-cancerous cells surrounding pancreatic tumors changes tumor behavior and might make the tumor more responsive to immunotherapy.

A new immune pathway has been discovered in chickens that viruses — such as those that tend to infect birds, humans and animals and spread diseases like influenza or Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever — may be targeting.

Two recent discoveries made by stem cell researchers at Cedars-Sinai may help to improve cancer treatments and shorten the time it takes for people to recover from radiation and chemotherapy.
