With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia ...

A study reveals how the essential red blood cell transcription factor KLF1 recognizes DNA. Using precise measurements in test ...

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 ...

A major new study reveals a 'traffic light' mechanism controlling genetic activity within cells -- a system which could potentially be targeted by cancer drugs already in development. The research ...

A new technology called RADARS allows scientists to detect and target specific cell types and states, opening up potential applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. Researchers at the Broad ...

Scientists at Gladstone Institutes and UC San Francisco (UCSF) have mapped the intricate network of genetic switches that immune cells use to fine-tune levels of FOXP3. Their findings, published in ...

The ability to control the expression of therapeutic genes within a “therapeutic window” is crucial to ensure the development of safe and effective gene therapies, but to date, there has been no ...

Cells are regularly faced with environmental stresses that may damage or destroy them. To survive, they quickly adjust their gene expression to protect themselves. This is especially true for cancer ...

Researchers from Louisiana State University have identified a gene in the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans that they believe is vital to the organism’s ability to withstand high ...
