New research finds that turtle genomes show a chromatin arrangement that hasn't been observed in other organisms.

Researchers have illustrated how astroglia – cells that support the functioning of the brain – can be reprogrammed into cells resembling interneurons.

Researchers mapped aging across multiple organs, finding immunoglobulin G accumulation drives aging by increasing structural disorder and inflammation. The study offers IgG as a biomarker and uses antisense oligonucleotides to reduce aging effects.

Teams of mountaineering mice have shown how species adapt to localized conditions in order to thrive across diverse environments.

New research reveals the detailed mechanisms of how mitochondria process transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which are essential for energy production.

A Washington University study shows how plants use specialized enzymes, CMT2 and CMT3, to add methyl groups to DNA, regulating gene expression for environmental resilience.

USC researchers have found that targeting CD47, a protein enabling cancer to evade immune cells, could enhance colorectal cancer treatments. Blocking CD47, combined with traditional therapies, could stimulate immune responses against tumors.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati found that copper accumulation fuels renal cell carcinoma by enhancing energy production in tumors. Elevated copper levels activate protective mechanisms that support cancer cell survival.

Using CRISPR-Cas13, NYU researchers reveal that noncoding RNAs, previously deemed “junk,” are crucial for cell function and development. Their findings, published in Cell, identify nearly 800 essential noncoding RNAs.

Penn Medicine researchers discovered that liver signals regulate eating patterns by interacting with brain centers, a process disrupted by shift work. Targeting this liver-brain pathway could help prevent overeating in those with irregular schedules.
