This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...
Scientists in China have unveiled a breakthrough way to mass-produce powerful cancer-fighting immune cells in the lab. By ...
A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...
Whether it’s counting red blood cells under a light microscope or recording bursts of electricity as neurons fire, scientists spend a lot of time studying cells. With such a diversity in form and ...
How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...
A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
Scientists identified two types of brain cells, neurons and microglia, that are altered in people with depression. Through genomic mapping of post-mortem brain tissue, they found major differences in ...
