Researchers used gut organoids to perform a systematic CRISPR screening of 1800 human transcription factors and identified ZNF800 as a key regulator of the differentiation of a specific gut cell type, the enteroendocrine cells.

A new study has revealed some of the mechanics underlying how breast cancer cells invade healthy tissues. The research, which may offer new drug targets against the spread of cancer cells (metastasis), is published in Advanced Science.

Indiana University School of Medicine researchers have identified multiple species of bacteria that, when present in the gut, are linked to an increased risk of developing severe malaria in humans and mice.

An enzyme that may help some breast cancers spread can be stopped with an antibody created in Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. With further development, the antibody might offer an effective drug treatment for those same breast cancers.

A new syndrome of birth defects, apparently caused by fentanyl abuse, has been identified at a Delaware hospital.

The UK regulatory authorities have approved the first ever trial of a revolutionary gene therapy for young children diagnosed with Hunter syndrome, a devastating rare lysosomal storage disorder.

There are few things tastier than the crisp bite of a cold IPA…for now. A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications found the changing global climate may be affecting the flavor and cost of beer.

A new study has unearthed a pressing environmental concern – marine debris is increasing the risk of introducing invasive species.

Previously, touch was thought to be detected only by nerve endings present within the skin and surrounding hair follicles. New research has found that cells within hair follicles are also able to detect the sensation.

Researchers made the breakthrough discovery that the genetically encoded T-cell receptor (TCR) sequence that humans develop in early childhood determines a T cell’s function.
