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

Learn how mapping gene-control switches in an ancient sea anemone reveals how identical DNA can produce many different cell ...

Placozoa are among the simplest animals in the world. They were initially discovered living on the walls of aquariums in a ...

A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Researchers have found a way to control protein levels inside different tissues of a whole, living animal for the first time. The method lets scientists dial protein levels up or down with great ...

The findings also offer clues about early animal evolution. Placozoa resemble some of the earliest animals on Earth, which ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

Researchers have long faced a blunt limitation in biology. They could delete proteins or switch genes off, but they could not finely tune how much of a protein existed in specific tissues over an ...

Dissociating tissues into single cells is a core laboratory technique and vital for widely used applications such as next-generation sequencing or flow cytometry. Scientists who employ tissue ...

In a recent study published in Immunology, researchers investigated populations of regulatory T cells (Treg), a type of white blood cell, in various tissues. Study: The tissue-resident regulatory T ...
