Researchers have identified a subset of brain cells in mice that act as the master regulators of urination. Urination requires the coordinated function of two units of the lower urinary tract. The ...

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...

Researchers at Duke University have adapted CRISPR technologies for high-throughput screening of gene function in human immune cells and discovered that a single master regulator of the genome can be ...

An artistic rendering of CRISPR-enhanced T-cells attacking a tumor. Research has shown that the gene-editing system CRISPR can modulate T cell behavior to make them better cancer killers without ...

USC Dornsife researchers discover that “condensates” formed by the protein Nup98 help cells avoid catastrophic errors when repairing breaks in tightly packed DNA, a finding with implications for ...

Although embryonic stem cells have certainly grabbed most of the attention — and headlines — in the stem cell field in recent years, embryos aren’t the only source of these versatile mother-cells.

In dogs, mast cell tumors are the most common malignant skin tumors, accounting for approximately 16–21% of all skin cancers. These tumors can appear anywhere on the body but are most frequently found ...
