About 2 meters (6.6 feet) of genetic material must fit into the nucleus of each of most of our trillions of cells, coiling ...

ICBS Medal 2026 honors nine scientists spanning CRISPR gene editing, topological quantum matter, and nanoscale microscopy, as ...

Mature mammalian cardiomyocytes (CMs) develop compact sarcomeric structures that inhibit proliferation. Consequently, CMs must dedifferentiate to a fetus-like state, which is accompanied by sarcomere ...

Recent findings provide one of the most detailed pictures to date of the genetic architecture of schizophrenia, opening up new avenues for research into the disorder.

Profiling over 86,000 nuclei from 16 human cell types, scientists mapped two forms of epigenetic regulation in single cells ...

Early-life stress increased SETD7 and H3K4me1 in the ventral tegmental area of mice, creating an epigenetically primed state that heightened later transcriptional, neuronal, and behavioral responses ...

The startup has completed enrollment of an early-stage study testing a first-of-its-kind treatment for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, a disease targeted by many other drugmakers.

Cardiomyocytes exhibit marked susceptibility to ferroptosis after myocardial infarction (MI), rendering ferroptosis inhibition a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate ischemic myocardial injury.
