Smaller nucleoli slow aging, acting as a "mortality timer," while larger nucleoli lead to cell death by destabilizing rDNA. The secret to cellular youth may lie in maintaining a small nucleolus—a ...

Scientists have developed human stem cell models containing the notochord, a critical tissue that guides spine and nervous system formation during embryonic development.

The brain extracellular matrix plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity, including experience/adaptive-based changes in ...

Researchers have identified specific cell types in the brain of mice that undergo major changes as they age, along with a ...

Researchers have designed a flexible material that could pave the way for the development of adaptable space structures.

For the first time, the notochord a tissue in the developing embryo that serves as a navigation system, telling cells where to build the spine and nervous system (the trunk) has been included in human ...

In a new study, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers reveal a bacterial immune system that thwarts the phages’ plot by attaching a small protein molecule to their tails. The components of this ...

A new study may overturn the century-old understanding of how neurons are shaped—but not everyone is on board.

Briola and co-authors determined the structure of the human CTF18 clamp loader bound to PCNA to high resolution, analyzed the structure, and tested a new mechanism involving a human-specific Ctf18 ...
