Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...
This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the ...
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 ...
For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...
New study links the APOE gene to increased delirium risk, independent of dementia, highlighting genetic factors in cognitive ...
Dr. Zhao explained that ALOX15 expression could be augmented through an endothelium-targeted nanoparticle gene delivery ...
De novo genes are evolution’s magic trick—new genes appearing from non-coding DNA, much like a rabbit pulled from a hat. Once considered impossible, de novo genes have been identified in Drosophila ...
