Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able ...
Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...
In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...
A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...
“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...
When introducing genes into yeast to make it produce drugs and other useful substances, it is also necessary to reliably switch the production on or off. Researchers have found three gene regulation ...
A U.S. regulator reportedly plans to unveil a faster approach to approving custom gene-editing treatments for rare diseases. Vinay Prasad, who oversees gene therapies in the U.S. Food and Drug ...
