New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

Researchers have mapped the 3D organization of genetic material of key developmental stages of human retinal formation, using intricate models of a retina grown in the lab. The findings lay a ...

The thalamus serves as a central hub for relaying sensory and motor information, and its development is governed by a tightly regulated interplay of signalling pathways and gene regulatory networks.

The first study on deuterium-depleted water (DDW) concluded that a higher D/H ratio inside cells can trigger cell division.

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect where the aortic valve has two leaflets (cusps) instead of the usual three, resulting in abnormal blood flow and development of aortic ...

The human brain's remarkably prolonged development is unique among mammals and is thought to contribute to our advanced learning abilities. Disruptions in this process may explain certain ...

A duplicated gene evolved into a switch that determines sex in frogs, revealing how evolution can safely reshape critical ...

To generate successful gene therapies that are capable of delivering nucleic acids to specific cells and tissues, scientists must carefully design their products. They can employ either recombinant ...
