Scientists at City of Hope have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by converting pancreatic cells that normally produce insulin into ...

Prior to cell division, chromosomes are seemingly a jumbled mess. During cell division, parent cell chromosomes and their duplicates sort themselves out by condensing, becoming thousands of times more ...

“Our findings suggest a role for NSD2 in maintaining MM cell identity, with potential implications for future therapeutic strategies based on targeting of NSD2.” “Our findings suggest a role for NSD2 ...

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for the skin, liver cells express liver genes, and so on. This coordination is ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity.

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

We knew we had something interesting with T3p, a single small RNA found in breast cancer but absent from normal tissue. After being described in 2018, this molecule took our team on a six-year journey ...
