Muscle stem cells repurpose the tenogenic factor Scx to establish a muscle-specific transcriptional program that sustains stem cell expansion, migration, differentiation, fusion, self-renewal, and ...

Research rethinks amino acid origins, revealing insights into life’s earliest building blocks on Earth and potential clues ...

In 2018, a nervous-looking He Jiankui took the stage at a scientific conference in Hong Kong. A hush settled over the packed auditorium as the soft-spoken Chinese scientist adjusted his microphone and ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...

This year marked a pivotal moment in the quest to treat Huntington’s disease, a rare but devastating form of dementia. Scientists found that an experimental gene therapy slowed the condition’s ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing links left by traditional genetic studies. The technique could transform how ...

The FDA has issued its stamp of approval to a new, cell-based option to treat Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), marking the first therapy of its kind for the rare disease and making Italy’s Fondazione ...

Witness to ICE agents: 'you shot her in the f**king face'; says: 'I can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further' ...
