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

Just like a doctor adjusts the dose of a medication to the patient's needs, the expression of therapeutic genes, those modified in a person to treat or cure a disease via gene therapy, also needs to ...

The first steps following gene discovery have become somewhat routine: completing sequencing of the gene, matching the sequence to a known protein pattern (if possible), deciphering gene expression ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

It often involves the introduction of genetic material into a person’s cells to replace a defective or missing gene. Although early attempts at gene therapy have been effective in achieving the ...

Mice and newts were applied to the one-step Cre-loxP organism creation technology by TAx9. In this study, the researchers succeeded in synthesizing a Cre-loxP integrated vector by placing a short DNA ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

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

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...
