UC San Francisco researchers have uncovered how the single-celled Stentor coeruleus can learn without neurons, using protein ...

It may be possible to identify which pre-cancerous cells will develop into a rare type of blood cancer, due to new research ...

Study in adults and children with aplastic anemia identifies parallel evolutionary pathways used by hematopoietic stem cells ...

A new study, led by the University of Vienna and the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, shows how the eyes of adult marine bristleworms continue to grow throughout life—driven by a ring of ...

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed ...

A new platform combines rational protein design with continuous evolution to discover functional molecules more efficiently. In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or ...

UC San Francisco scientists have uncovered how the single-celled Stentor coeruleus learns, despite lacking a brain or neurons. The organism uses calcium signaling and protein modification—mechanisms ...

Researchers have mapped the evolution of a type of leukaemia that is exclusive to children with Down syndrome and may have identified an overarching weakness in the cancer's genetic makeup.
