Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations.

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we mapped thousands of expression quantitative trait loci in yeast, including a variant in GPA1 that influences gene expression, cell-cycle occupancy, and mating ...

Using an unbiased approach, this important study discovered a role of Ezh2 in the differentiation of granule neuron precursors, the cell of origin for Shh group of medulloblastoma. Furthermore, the ...

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) find it harder to get pregnant, have more frequent miscarriages and have a higher ...

Successful high-affinity B cells can proliferate under special conditions that reduce the risk of mutation. Capturing this ...

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a vaccine or pathogen, B cells scramble to refine their defenses, rapidly mutating ...

Get out your milk frother, because golden milk is back. Not that it ever went away. After all, the turmeric-based beverage ...

New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems ...
