UC San Diego scientists and their colleagues have developed two new genetic systems that halt or eliminate gene drives after release. Credit: Ana Silva Two…
Melanoma cells create more nuclear pores (green) than normal cells. The scientists showed that blocking the formation of nuclear pores selectively killed cancer cells, revealing…
This image from the Heart Cell Atlas shows six heart regions (left and right atria and ventricles, apex, and interventricular septum). Color coding is used…

The physical structures of cancer cells are disrupted by a web forming inside of the cells – which activates their self-destruction mechanism. Credit: MPI-P According…
Males and females share the vast majority of their genomes. Only a sprinkling of genes, located on the so-called X and Y sex chromosomes, differ…
Brain cells called astrocytes appear in green, and purple represents the leakage of the blood-brain barrier. Together they show that leakage occurs around areas where…
Doryteuthis pealeii, often called the Woods Hole squid. Studies with D. pealeii have led to major advances in neurobiology, including description of the fundamental mechanisms…

Models and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of various 3D polyhedra that were constructed by connecting the self-linked triangular M-DNA and rectangular M-DNA. From left…
Study shows adding stem cells to educational intervention can significantly help kids with autism. Results of a clinical trial released today (September 9, 2020) in…
Skin fibroblasts were successfully reprogrammed into the smooth muscle cells (red) and endothelial cells (white) which surround blood vessels. The cells’ nuclei are shown in…
Flavorings combine with solvents in e-cigarettes to produce new toxic chemicals that irritate the airways, triggering reactions that can lead to breathing and heart and…
