2. Describe the components of plant cells and their functions. Most animal cells possess a nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria. The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA ...

Plant genetics differs from animal genetics in a number of ways: somatic mutations can contribute to the germ line more easily as flowers develop at the end of branches composed of somatic cells ...

This breakthrough reshapes our understanding of the genetic origins of stem cells, offering a new perspective on the evolutionary ties between animals and their ancient single-celled relatives.

Researchers have successfully developed a modular synthetic translational coupling element (SynTCE), significantly enhancing ...

The Gaublomme lab has developed a new optical pooled screening approach called CRISPRmap, which enables the coupling of ...

Here we focus on the transformation ... cells into "humanized" animal models, such as mice whose hematopoietic systems have been reconstituted with human stem cells, has elucidated genes and ...

Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but a new study suggests that could change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that reversed heart failure in animals.

In a single IV injection, a gene therapy targeting cBIN1 can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the ...

Cell boundaries, labeled in magenta, are more organized after gene therapy, and the level of cBIN1 protein (green) is higher. "Even though the animals are still facing stress on the heart to ...
