On the systematic obfuscation of women's contributions.

The way cancer-causing proteins accumulate in tumours may influence how effectively a promising new generation of medicines can remove them, a study has found.

The pace of embryonic development differs between mammalian species, yet the molecular basis for this remains unknown. By comparing protein dynamics i…

Human embryonic development proceeds more slowly than in mice. The segmentation clock offers a tractable model for studying species-specific developme…

Mammals display prominent diversity in the ability to regenerate damaged ear pinna, but the genetic changes underlying the failure of regeneration remain elusive. We performed comparative single-cell ...

FDA grants traditional approval to selpercatinib for locally advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive solid tumors

This study uses a precise and efficient clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) prime editing system to substitute lysine residues in histone H3, individually or in combinat...

Our expanded Centers of Excellence network is here — 8 designated centers, 10+ lead investigators, and the people turning lived experience into discovery. See who's part of Mission Possible.

Each year, Nature Biotechnology highlights companies that received sizeable early-stage funding in the previous year. Trogenix has developed a platform for generating ‘synthetic super-enhancers’ that ...

During regeneration, tissues must translate transient cellular variability into stable spatial organization. Tissue architecture generates a density-dependent window of heterogeneity in the mechanosen...

A synthetic cell can now grow and divide—but it’s still far from alive

Neural crest evolution reassembled ancient programs in pigment cell lineage, resulting in vertebrate innovations.

Neurodevelopment is the transformation of genetic information into diverse neuronal phenotypes. Developmental signals initiate patterns of gene transcription and translation that drive progenitors tow...

Clusters storing gene activators near inactive regions of DNA in cell nuclei could illuminate cancer biology.

Funders are using interviews to manage demand, but some worry about the consequences for applicants

Modern Britain needs young people with degrees – here’s how to make sure they still have somewhere to study them

We hope you can join us for a fun and inspiring in-person gathering.

Summary: Transcriptional variability in developing Drosophila embryos is time dependent, peaking after mitosis due to nucleus-to-nucleus differences in post-mitotic reactivation timings, and declining...

The Institute of Human Genetics invites applications for a Principal Investigator position in its main research areas. Read more...
