In reading, a bookmark tells where you stopped. Cells use bookmarks too, specific proteins that help the cell remember what collection of genes needs to be turned on again after the brief halt of gene ...

The researchers' success in direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into alveolar epithelial-like cells may lead to new treatments for serious lung diseases. Researchers in Japan have successfully ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology. The AT2-like cells ...
