The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

The image shows the cross section mutant brown adipose tissue section with enlarged lipid droplets (yellow) and nucleus (blue) being impinged by multiple mitochondria (red). Mitochondria are ...

In their quest for safe, mass-producible artificial blood, geneticists have long struggled. Our limited knowledge of genetic ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

Kanazawa University, report in ACS Nano, how proteins in cells can be controllably activated through heating, an effect that ...

According to new research, T cells have a nuclear receptor doing something very odd—but very important—to help them fight pathogens and destroy cancer cells. This receptor, called retinoic acid ...

Clinging to the ends of filaments called microtubules, the glue they discovered ensures the nucleus is correctly positioned for cell division. The findings, published in Nature Cell Biology, explain ...
