DNA Replication Revisited: Single-Molecule Analyses Reveal Its Highly Dynamic Nature
In their review in BioEssays, Karl Duderstadt and colleagues challenge the long-held view that DNA replication follows a single highly reproducible sequence of molecular events.
Body On Chip: Are We There Yet?
Advanced Healthcare Materials Special issue on “Microphysiological Analytic Platforms (MAPs): Precision Organs on Chip” edited by Luke P. Lee.
Cellular Reprogramming: A New Way to Understand Aging Mechanisms
This rise in the elderly population brings forward the concept of healthy aging and encourages scientists to conduct extensive research in cellular reprogramming.
Scarless Wound Healing
By understanding the principles of scarless healing in a fetus, perhaps we could achieve scarless healing in mature, born humans.
Horizontal Transfer of Transposable Elements
In their review in BioEssays, Jean Peccoud and colleagues discuss the challenges and prospects of analyzing horizontal transfer of transposable elements on a large scale.
MicroRNAs and RNA Editing: Roles in Cancer Initiation and Progression
A study on the mechanisms and effects of RNA and microRNA editing on the initiation and progression of cancer.
Biomanufacturing in Zero-G
Science fact catches up with science fiction: by exploiting magnetic levitation, biomanufacturing – creating living 3D structures – is now possible in zero gravity. Utkan Demirci discusses how this works.
Bone Repair: A Breaking Story
Researchers in Barcelona have proposed a new mechanism for bone repair. They hope that the work might pave the way for advances in self-healing prostheses.
Cold-Inducible RNA Binding Protein in Cancer and Inflammation
