Researchers have unraveled the cellular mechanisms behind stomata opening and closing.

Researchers have discovered the underlying biology that identifies a subset of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who have a higher-risk version of the disease and are more likely to relapse despite treatment.

Standardized tissue handling is crucial in cancer research, ensuring the preservation of sample integrity and data quality. This enables comprehensive analysis and enhances understanding of cancer biology, aiding therapeutic discoveries.

A study reveals that 3% of normal breast cells in healthy women have chromosomal abnormalities linked to invasive breast cancer, challenging current cancer detection methods. Aneuploid cells accumulate with age and mimic invasive cancer profiles.

A new study offers compelling evidence that single-cell creatures such as ciliates and amoebae are capable of habituation, a simple form of learning.

Researchers from CRG and Harvard Medical School show that single cells can “learn” by adapting to repeated stimuli using molecular circuits. This behavior mimics habituation in complex organisms and provides insights into cellular memory.

The Discovery Spark program aims to help upcoming biotechnology and healthcare companies grow. In this article, we take a closer look at some of the innovative technologies of this year's Discovery Spark cohort.

Researchers at VIB-UGent uncovered a key phase in root development dubbed "root puberty," regulated by SPL13 transcription factors. This transition affects cell division orientation, enabling deeper, steeper root growth.

An antimalarial drug, in combination with drugs that target resistance mechanisms, could be used to treat cancer.

A study by USC researchers found that PFAS exposure is associated with reduced kidney function in young adults, with disruptions in the gut microbiome and related metabolites potentially explaining up to 50% of this decline.
