A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...
UCSF scientists engineered old fibroblast cells to turn their genes on and off in the same way as young fibroblasts. The old ...
There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...
As we age, we don't recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UCSF has found gene ...
A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...
Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...
Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...
Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased ...
