Scientists find hidden ‘off switch’ that controls cell identity

Australian researchers have identified how cells silence the genes they do not need, a finding that could open new paths in cancer treatment and regenerative medicine.  Every cell in your body carries the same genetic blueprint. A neuron and a liver cell share identical DNA, yet they look different, behave differently, and do entirely different jobs. How […]

How blood flow shapes a forming heart

Evidence is growing that heart formation relies on mechanical signals generated by blood flowing through the developing heart, and not just genetics or environmental factors. The evidence for this intriguing idea was recently reviewed by scientists at ARMI. Of babies born with a congenital defect, it is the heart that is​ ​most often impacted, especially the heart valves. […]
