Cigarette smoke accelerates eye aging by causing epigenetic changes that block the eye's natural repair genes.

Structural nanomedicine — what helped give us the COVID vaccine — may now be the key to a potent blood cancer treatment that’s had remarkable early results.

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Some of the earliest roots of the human eye appear to lie in a small marine animal that lived nearly 600 million years ago. Researchers at Lund Univer.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

Tau proteins act like the brain's maintenance crew, helping maintain the structure and proper function of brain cells. In ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

On Thursday, Feb. 19, Ali May, an assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai presented her research on the various ways tissue resident macrophages shape embryonic salivary ...
