Applying dynamical systems theory to single-cell data can provide a detailed picture of the cellular states observed during cell fate decisions. This study presents a dynamic landscape analysis (DLA) ...

Inositol is an essential nutrient for most living organisms, as combinatorial phosphorylation on this cyclic sugar generates key cellular messengers, such as lipid-bound phosphoinositides (PtdInsPs), ...

The term ‘housekeeping gene’ evokes a sense of banality. These are the boring genes that hum in the background, impervious to cell state or stress. For a developmental biologist captivated by the impa...

Gregory J. Hannon passed away in April 2026 at the age of 61. A towering figure in modern molecular biology, Greg influenced remarkably diverse areas of science. His work reshaped our understanding of gene regulation, advanced the discovery of tumor suppressors that regulate the cell-cycle machinery, and uncovered fundamental mechanisms of RNA interference. By establishing core principles of small RNA biology, he not only transformed our mechanistic view of RNA-silencing pathways but also pioneered functional genomics approaches that revolutionized basic and biomedical research in mammalian systems.
