Contrary to their traditional role, microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to an increase in translation during cell quiescence. This function may be exploited for microRNA-mediated regulation of protein ...

A cell's functions are determined by which genes are turned on, how strongly and when. Major changes in gene expression underlie changes in cell state, including cell growth and a stress-resistant ...

With the help of a tool created at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, researchers can better study the various states of stem cells in the nervous system by utilizing the light naturally emitted by ...
