Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the earliest stages of embryonic development. These mosaic mutations often go ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little ...

MIT researchers mapped RNA editing across more than 200 individual fly motor neurons, uncovering hundreds of canonical and ...

Every face carries a story, shaped long before birth by a quiet choreography of genes switching on and off at just the right moment. A new study suggests that part of that story reaches far back into ...

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death.

Frozen in time, RNA cellular snapshots can reveal the health, diet, and behaviors of extinct animals at time of death. In A ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in which genes they ...

The strongest sex differences were in the testes and other reproductive tissues, but, surprisingly, most other tissues also ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are medical conditions characterized by the progressive degradation ...
