Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have a unique resource in the form of the Center for Biomolecular ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

A recent review by Carlo Maley, a researcher at Arizona State University, and Lucie Laplane from the University of Paris Pantheon-Sorbonne critiques the dominant theory of cancer evolution. The ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal’s body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A ...

Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies through mutation and expansion until they produce high-affinity B cells adapted ...

Share on Pinterest Human brain cell evolution may be linked to autism, neurodiversity, according to a new study. Image credit: Lauren Lee/Stocksy A new study concludes that the speed at which the ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...

Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin and functional limits of key regulators remain poorly understood.

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...

A review examines the prevailing theory of cancer evolution. The authors highlight both practical and theoretical limitations of the clonal model of cancer evolution and propose areas for improving ...
