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 ...

Estrogens, the main female sex hormone, although they also perform some functions in men, are involved in a myriad of ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

A study published in the journal Cell marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells.

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

The working model shows the known and novel functions of OTULIN. OTULIN regulates proteostasis, cell death, inflammation, and cell survival/development. The sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (sAD2.1) iPSC ...

A shared molecular signature of Alzheimer’s appears across populations once studied in isolation. Alzheimer's disease (AD) ...
