A study discovered how the MX protein traps HIV-1 and herpes viruses by assembling decoy structures that mimic nuclear pore complexes. This research enhances understanding of MX's antiviral properties.

Researchers have used cells from cord blood to recreate a functioning human immune system in mice.

Researchers have deciphered key regulatory mechanisms behind controlled growth in plant meristems.

A new study reconstructed the diet of the infamous Tsavo lions using ancient DNA from hairs found in their teeth. The findings revealed the lions consumed giraffes, zebras, oryx, and waterbucks.

Disruptions of mitochondrial functions have a fundamental influence on Crohn’s disease.

Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation, a new study has found.

Research reveals that variability in when and how cells divide in embryos is beneficial for development. By studying embryos from mice, rabbits, and monkeys, the team found that this randomness helps create organized and functional structures.

Insights into the metabolic function of natural killer cells in the lungs could direct treatments for lung diseases.

Learning takes seconds to minutes, yet the brain was previously thought to encode information around 1000 times faster. A new study has illustrated that neurons can integrate information over seconds.

Researchers have created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models accurately replicate human brain development.
