Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that switches genes "on" and "off" during embryo development, shedding light on how diverse cell types are produced.

Aggressive forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain challenging to treat, especially in patients with FLT3-ITD mutations. Researchers have identified a key epigenetic regulator that promotes leukemia cell growth by promoting MYC activation.

Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) demonstrated that metabolic reactions can occur in water-filled pores exposed to heat flow, simulating early Earth conditions. This finding challenges the role of cell membranes in early life.

A recent study reveals that vitamin C promotes skin regeneration by activating genes that control keratinocyte growth and maturation. Using 3D skin models, the research shows that vitamin C increases keratinocyte proliferation and turnover.

Skin grafts genetically engineered from a patient’s own cells can heal persistent wounds in people with an extremely painful dermatologic disease, a Stanford Medicine-led clinical trial has shown.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising survival strategy used by cancer cells that may help to explain how they adapt and keep growing even when nutrients are scarce and under metabolic stress.

Wild-growing tomatoes on the Galápagos archipelago are "de-evolving", according to new research. The plants appear to be shedding millions of years of evolution, reviving ancient chemical defense systems that are more primitive in nature.

Researchers have identified a mutation in a common oncogene that may play an important role in colon cancer. Their findings suggest that this variant behaves differently from other common variants and may be selectively targeted in future therapies.

Researchers have identified the circuit of genes that control the regrowth and repair of hearts in zebrafish, offering clues as to how a human heart may one day be repaired after damage.

Scientists have identified two proteins involved in regulating chromatin remodelling which could be promising therapeutic targets in tackling skin cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders.
