To advance the field of chemical biology, Superti-Furga and assistant professor Ulrike Eggert of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the department of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology ...

Researchers have uncovered a developmental switch needed to activate global transcriptional silencing, a key step needed for the fertilization of eggs. Zfp36L2 acts as a switch toward the end of ...

Human bodies have to be built from a single egg cell that's fertilized by a sperm cell. Many rounds of cell division occur as the body is developing, and it seems that there are plenty of chances for ...

The ability of chemists to synthesize molecules has been invaluable to biological research. As a result, the development and application of chemical tools for gaining molecular-level insights into ...
