“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

In addition to competing for resources, living cells actively kill and eat each other. New explorations of these "cell-in-cell" phenomena show they are not restricted to cancer cells but are a common ...

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer‐promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Directed evolution is a laboratory technique that mimics natural selection and allows scientists to evolve genes and the proteins they encode. Traditionally, this technique has been used in microbes, ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a ...

"This book was originally published as an issue of Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society B; Biological sciences (volume 363; number 1496) but has been materially changed and updated"--Title ...

A recent review by Carlo Maley, a researcher at Arizona State University, and Lucie Laplane from the University of Paris Pantheon-Sorbonne critiques the dominant theory of cancer evolution. The ...

Researchers describe cell-in-cell phenomena in which one cell engulfs and sometimes consumes another. The study shows that cases of this behavior, including cell cannibalism, are widespread across the ...
