Our genomes provide the instructions for proper growth and development. Millions of genomic switches, known as enhancers, control the location and timing of gene expression, which in turn ensures the correct proteins are made in the right cells at the right time throughout our lives.

The team of scientists looked at a specific type of immune cell known as macrophages, which play a crucial role in regulating the inflammatory response in both spiny mice and lab mice. The study aims to unlock the body's natural potential to regenerate after injury.

A team of researchers at the University of Kentucky and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital is delving deeper into the science behind how spiny mice can regenerate

A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as conductors of bone development in the womb and could provide insight into genetic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, known commonly as "brittle bone disease."

A pair of proteins could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation

<p>Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the first five days of development, a period in which embryos mature from a single cell into distinct cell types.</p>

Once assumed to be the cell's trash can, a little bubble of biological debris, termed the midbody remnant, is packing working genetic material with the ability to affect the fate of other cells, even turning them into cancer Science News | Remnant of Cell Division Might Be Responsible for Spreading Cancer: Research.

Once thought to be the trash can of the cell, a little bubble of cellular stuff called the midbody remnant is actually packing working genetic material with the power to change the fate of other cells -; including turning them into cancer.

The so-called midbody remnant is like a little lunar lander that can transfer genetic instructions to other cells, researchers have revealed.
