After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

The mammalian liver has an extraordinary regenerative capacity, capable of fully restoring its mass and function after injury or partial resection. A study led by researchers at the University of ...

The study provides a genome-wide map of the interactions between these regulatory elements of liver regeneration and the key genes involved in this process. From left to right, Montserrat Corominas, ...

Salk researchers uncovered a genetic mechanism that directs DNA methylation in Arabidopsis. Instead of relying solely on existing epigenetic marks, CLASSY3 partners with REM transcription factors that ...

The peripheral nervous system includes the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Peripheral neurons can be extraordinarily large, with their extensions reaching up to ...

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the 'dark genome' that are responsible ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant's DNA. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Plant biotechnology has ...
