A rapidly advancing area of biomedical innovation is shining a spotlight on miR-128-3p, a small yet powerful molecule with the potential to reshape how diseases—especially cancer—are detected, ...

Ferroptosis represents a distinct form of regulated cell death, characterised by the iron-dependent peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cellular membranes. Unlike apoptosis or necroptosis, ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a specific long non-coding RNA activates oncogenic signaling pathways in prostate cancer cells and drives tumor progression, underscoring its ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

We knew we had something interesting with T3p, a single small RNA found in breast cancer but absent from normal tissue. After being described in 2018, this molecule took our team on a six-year journey ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...
