A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

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 ...

UCSF scientists engineered old fibroblast cells to turn their genes on and off in the same way as young fibroblasts. The old ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly developed form of CRISPR at UNSW Sydney points to a safer way of treating ...

Much of pancreatic cancer’s evasive and deadly nature may come down to low levels of one gene. In A Nutshell Early detection, ...
