OIST and Naha City Medical Association Begin Joint Research on Novel Coronavirus

Prof. Filip Husnik talks symbiosis and what it can tell us about evolution and cell biology on the most recent episode of the OIST podcast.

OIST researcher uses state-of-the-art imaging and techniques to study the spindle within our cells, and to reveal which proteins are necessary for it to operate correctly.

A study looking at pancreatic beta cells has found a link between a commonly found protein, a subset of switched-off genes and the development of diabetes.

Fifteen blood metabolites are key for diagnosing the age-related disorder, frailty, new study finds.

Researchers study key neural receptor involved in learning and memory.

Scientists uncover how one protein keeps conditions ‘just right’ so that cells can easily divide into two identical daughter cells.

Research uncovers previously unknown effects of fasting, including notably increased metabolic activity and possible anti-aging effects.

Researchers learn how a key transcription factor helps regulate the immune system and could be critical to understanding autoimmune disease and cancer immunosuppression.

Scientists discover a molecular “brake” that helps control eye lens development in zebrafish.

OIST scientists identify essential genes for quiescent cells to switch back to dividing mode using fission yeast that may lead to new cancer therapies.
