Researchers uncover mechanism critical to keeping blood stem cells functional

Hematopoietic stem cells, that form mature blood cells, require a very precise amount of protein to function - and defective regulation of protein production is common in certain types of aggressive human blood cancers.

Waking up “sleeping” stem cells in the brain could improve its ability to repair injury

Researchers have identified a new type of stem cell that could boost the brain’s ability to repair damage caused by brain injury or disease.

Scientists create organoids that could help guide bladder cancer treatment

Researchers have created patient-specific bladder cancer organoids that imitate many of the features of real tumors and may therefore be used to study how cancer evolves.

Study provides systematic view of gene enhancer activity in diverse tumors

At the heart of any cancer diagnosis or treatment are cells. If one thinks of the cell components controlling gene activation as a Russian nesting-doll of gene regulatory layers, within those increasingly smaller tiers are short pieces of non-coding DNA called enhancers.

Study provides insights into how male germ cells avoid genome instability

A group of researchers at Osaka University reported the function of GTSF1 in male germ cells. The study, which can be read in EMBO Reports, shows that GTSF1 is an essential factor for secondary piRNA biogenesis by regulating piRNA-mediated cleavage of target RNA.
