Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...
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 ...

Scientists identify a non-coding gene that directly controls how big cells grow
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.
Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...
These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new ...
The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...
