New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites.

A newly created atlas of 21 million cells could upend long-held assumptions about how we age and provide fresh directions for anti-aging therapies.

New insights could fine-tune this immunotherapy to avoid a common side effect without sacrificing efficacy.

An autoimmune condition makes certain people much more susceptible to West Nile virus and many other severe viral diseases. In the future, a screening process could reveal if you’re at risk.  

The study explains why treatments for many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases raise the risk of contracting TB—and also upends long-held assumptions about what kicks off an immune response.      

New findings describe how the enzyme CST is recruited to the end of the telomere, where it maintains telomere length with the help of subtle chemical changes made to the protein POT1.

In examining the mating rituals of roundworms, researchers uncovered a unique approach to reproduction that maximizes genetic fitness.

The end replication problem dictates that telomeres shrink unless telomerase intervenes. But the problem is actually twice as complicated, with telomerase providing only part of the solution.

Telomerase could run amok, deleteriously capping damaged DNA, were it not for a first responder to DNA damage.

Marraffini is honored for his pioneering research on the study of CRISPR-Cas systems.
