CRISPR-based technique unlocks healing power of mitochondria for heart failure therapy

After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One-third of patients develop heart failure as a ...

Why simulating an entire cell cycle took years, multiple GPUs and six days per run

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

A petri dish of human neurons has learned to play Doom: 'The cells play a lot like a beginner who's never seen a computer, and in fairness, they haven't'

Understandably, you're likely scratching your head, wondering how it's even possible for a petri dish to play Doom. Good question. The answer is the CL1, "the world’s first code ...

Tau hyperphosphorylation impairs cooperative binding to microtubules and perturbs organelle trafficking in neurons

Tau hyperphosphorylation is linked to neurodegeneration in tauopathies including Alzheimer’s disease. Tau binds microtubules cooperatively to form cohesive tau envelopes, which are thought to control ...
