Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Genes make up the blueprints and outline the process of building every living organism. To ensure that the right genes are activated in the right cells, and in the right amounts at the right time, ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

The human genome contains approximately 1,600 types of transcription factors responsible for regulating gene activity across ...

Researchers at the CNIO show that oestrogens regulate gene expression by changing DNA supercoiling. Hormone-activated ...

This study merges causal genetics and network theory, revealing 32 genes linked to long COVID, offering insights for ...

Engineered oncolytic bacteria have emerged as a promising therapeutic platform for precision cancer treatment, offering tumor ...

A newly revealed molecular tug-of-war may have implications for better understanding how a multitude of diseases and ...
