Same cellular mechanism implicated in cystic fibrosis and rare disease cystinosis

University of Michigan researchers have discovered that the same cellular mechanism involved in a form of cystic fibrosis is also implicated in a form of a rare disease called cystinosis.

Fat-filled lipid droplets may be a potential threat to cell's nucleus

Fat is a normal and necessary part of the body. Fat cells store and release energy, as well as play significant roles in hormonal regulation and immunity.

Ciliopathies: A new understanding of the role of the NSL complex

The non-specific lethal (NSL) complex is a chromatin-associated factor that has been shown to regulate the expression of thousands of genes in both fruit flies and mammals.

Kennesaw State professor receives NIH grant to study epigenetic inheritance in nematodes

Kennesaw State University biology professor Brandon Carpenter was inspired to pursue a career in science because of an undergraduate research experience. With a recent grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), he'll provide a similar experience to his students.

Researchers discover how proteins regulate 'treadmilling' in cells

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) have discovered how proteins work in tandem to regulate 'treadmilling', a mechanism used by the network of microtubules inside cells to ensure proper cell division.

Two small molecule inhibitors can help improve precision, efficiency of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing

A new study published in Nature Communications demonstrates how small molecule inhibitors can be used to improve the precision and efficiency of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing.

Midnolin protein plays key role in breaking down short-lived nuclear proteins

Short-lived proteins control gene expression in cells to carry out a number of vital tasks, from helping the brain form connections to helping the body mount an immune defense.

Scientists create new test to identify people at risk of developing myeloid leukemias

Scientists have created a new test for identifying people at risk of developing acute myeloid leukaemia and related cancers, years before they do.

Lung cells can be trained to counteract inflammation

Inflammation is a standard part of our bodies' immune system response. But sometimes this response becomes hyperactivated in our lungs, causing inflammation to continue unchecked, which can be fatal. Many deaths from COVID-19 have been due to excessive inflammation, which results in acute lung injury.

Researchers find link between topography of the genome and presence of cancer mutations

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have uncovered a connection between the topography of the human genome and the presence of mutations in human cancer.
