Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare, but highly aggressive sarcomas that often occur in patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1). Currently, su [...]

Non-genetic cellular heterogeneity is often overlooked in the study of molecular biology. Population averaged measurements of clonal cell populations are made under the a [...]

Heterochromatin boundary elements inhibit the spread of repressive histone methylation through gene coding regions to prevent the silencing of nearby genes. Two parallel [...]

B cell lymphocytes are an immune cell able to generate antigen specific responses. B cell activation occurs through two different receptors, the B cell receptor and CD40, [...]
