Researchers at UC San Diego have demonstrated that one of biology’s most essential enzymes can accurately read and transcribe an expanded genetic alphabet containing eight DNA letters instead of the four used by all known life.

The human body is a marvel of remake and renewal. We regularly replace some of our estimated 37 trillion cells – about 300 billion or 1 percent of our cells each day - with healthy substitutes. We remove damaged or aging, senescent cells and cellular debris from our organs and tissues every second of the day. How important is it that cellular waste be properly removed?

Researchers at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) of the Faculty of Science have uncovered how mammary-gland cells decide when to activate Wnt4, a gene with a central role in mammary-gland development. Their findings reveal how distant stretches of non-coding DNA work together in three dimensions to control gene activity.

A mule has helped researchers build the most complete reference genomes to date for horses and donkeys, giving scientists access to complex regions of DNA that earlier versions could not fully capture.

As it tries to defend itself from stroke, the brain can paradoxically trigger the formation of tiny new clots in minor blood vessels, damaging tissue even after the original culprit has been removed, new research shows. The findings help explain why nearly half of treated stroke patients don’t recover — and identify potential new treatments.

If you’ve ever watched a baby try to grab a toy, you know how awkward those first movements can be. Scientists at the University of Ottawa have taken a big step in identifying the neural changes behind motor control by observing zebrafish go from clumsy swimmers to graceful gliders.

An international study of more than a million people has substantially advanced our understanding of how genetic differences contribute to our personalities. The findings, published in Nature, could help scientists understand why certain personality traits are linked to differences in health, wellbeing and life outcomes.

Immunotherapy has radically transformed the treatment of cancer in recent years. However, it does not work equally well for every patient. Researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel explain that a relatively little-studied biological process may play a key role in this: the ageing of immune cells, also known as T-cell senescence. Their literature review was published on 3 September in the leadi
