Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising molecular chain reaction in the brain that may play a role in some forms of autism.

Scientists have mapped a direct link between a common brain gas and the hyperactive cell growth often seen in autism. Protecting a specific protein from this gas normalized behavior in animal models ...

A receptor involved in normal physiological processes may also drive breast cancer growth when overexpressed.

Achondroplasia, also known as short-limb dwarfism, is associated with neurological symptoms and complications due to ...

Scientists have developed a molecular clock that records the timing of cellular events at a single-cell resolution. Cancers are diseases of abnormal cellular growth, and although many are treatable or ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

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 ...

Cancers are diseases of abnormal cellular growth, and although many are treatable or even curable, their origins are not necessarily clear. Understanding the precise timing of cellular events—as cells ...
