Researchers from the Earlham Institute, in collaboration with the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford, have discovered three previously unrecognized lineages of the protist Bodo, each ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed immune profiling, enabling deeper characterization of disease mechanisms, therapeutic responses, and cellular diversity. However, technical pitfalls ...

Single-cell sequencing is useful for a number of applications. For example, it can reveal cellular heterogeneity inside complex tissues, such as tumors. It can also provide information about how ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Our cells are continually being exposed to environmental assaults. For instance, skin is exposed to pollutants and UV radiation. Our lungs are subject to environmental stimuli such as smoke ...
