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 ...

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 ...

Explore RNA interference methods, comparing siRNA and shRNA for gene knockdown, their mechanisms, advantages, and ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

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 ...

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system erroneously attacks a protective insulation that surrounds neurons ...

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

Inducible promoters provide remarkable utility when sustained transgene expression compromises plant development or agronomic performance. In this study, four different plant heat shock protein (HSP) ...
