It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

A fundamental principle of molecular biology governs how proteins are made within the cell, which happens in two stages called transcription and translation. During transcription, information stored ...

Analyzing stochastic cell-to-cell variability can potentially reveal causal interactions in gene regulatory networks.

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

There is no cure for the rare disease Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP), but researchers from Drexel University’s College ...
