Researchers say if their results are confirmed through further study they are optimistic the approach could be used to treat chronic infections for the first time.

In their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is able to establish infection of liver cells, researchers have identified a vulnerability that opens ...

Scientists reveal cells can transform into new life forms after death, challenging everything we know about biology. This groundbreaking discovery shows how human and animal cells continue functioning ...

New research has resulted in the first high-resolution molecular picture of the equine endometrium—the inner lining of the uterus—before and after embryo implantation. This picture, or cell atlas, ...

The UBC team's research, published this week in the journal Nature Communications, dubbed the highly-specialized neurons 'ovoid cells.' ...

Cooper’s research expertise in skeletal development will bridge the investigation from birds to mammals. Her laboratory at UC ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

the cell develops and functions. The struggle to comprehend this interplay is the preoccupation of biologists, and more recently those engaged in systems biology. But do we readily take into ...

Nature Research Intelligence Topics enable transformational understanding and discovery in research by categorising any document into meaningful, accessible topics. Read this blog to understand ...

"I'm of the mind that if you want to learn new biology, just look at cells," Acevedo-Sánchez says. "Manipulating the organelle that establishes contact with other organelles could be a great way ...

Animal awareness days provide rescue and wildlife groups with the opportunity to highlight public awareness and raise funds for animals in need. From shelter dogs to pygmy hippos, these amazing ...
