Cross-Regulation between TDP-43 and Paraspeckles Promotes Pluripotency-Differentiation Transition
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression, but their joint functions in coordinating cell fate decisions are poorly understood
A step toward recovering reproduction in girls who survive childhood cancer
Leukemia treatments often leave girls infertile, but a procedure developed by researchers at the University of Michigan working with mice is a step toward restoring their ability to be biological mothers.
Facilities for cooperation with Iranian experts and entrepreneurs abroad
In the 1404 vision document, the Islamic Republic of Iran is a society with advanced knowledge, capable of producing science and technology, based on the superior contribution of human resources and social wealth to improve national production and economics.
Researcher studies incurable blood disease usually diagnosed in children
Most people with Fanconi anemia are diagnosed before they turn 12 but dont live past 30. Wei Du—a researcher in the WVU School of Pharmacy and the WVU Cancer Institute—is exploring the metabolic processes the underlie this form of anemia. Her findings may lead to new gene therapies that help patients live better, longer.
Researchers discover new disease
A new immunodeficiency disease caused by a novel genetic mutation has been identified by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus providing unique insights into cell biology.

Rare genetic change provides clues to pancreas development
Researchers have discovered a key clue into the development of the pancreas and brain by studying rare patients born without a pancreas. The study from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Exeter and collaborators also identified a previously unexpected pathway involved in the development of the human pancreas, and confirmed this in mice.
A light-activated remote control for cells
Complex signaling pathways coordinate cellular activities such as movement, proliferation and even death. For example, when signaling molecules bind to proteins called receptor tyrosine kinases on a cells surface, they trigger the receptors to form pairs and phosphorylate each other
