DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

During embryonic stem cell (ESC) development, pluripotent stem cells transition from a naïve state into a primed state before they take their first steps toward a lineage commitment. Jacob Hanna, a ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

MSK physician-scientists Dr. Viviane Tabar and Dr. Lorenz Studer have developed a treatment for Parkinson’s disease that involves creating nerve cells from embryonic stem cells and transplanting them ...
