Researchers uncovered how cells coordinate genetic compensation when faulty mRNA is degraded. Small RNA fragments act as sequence “addresses” that recruit ILF3 to activate related backup genes.

McMaster University researchers have discovered a previously unknown cell-protecting function of a protein, which could open new avenues for treating age-related diseases and lead to healthier aging ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

A new study from Whitehead Institute Member Jonathan Weissman reveals how cells may activate a compensation system that can, in some cases, reduce the effects of potentially harmful genetic mutations.

A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors to new methods for ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...
