Living cells are fundamentally nonequilibrium systems, meaning they constantly spend energy through seemingly one-way, ...

Gene dysregulation is a hallmark of disease, driving pathogenic phenotypes and poor patient outcomes. RNA binding proteins are often important human gene effectors, controlling RNA synthesis, ...

Researchers have found statistically significant links between a gene tied to schizophrenia risk and poorer cognitive ...

The fungal-derived meroterpenoid pyripyropene A exhibits significant biological activities, including potent inhibition of acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) and high insecticidal efficacy ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the living human brain, offering unprecedented insight into the molecular ...

Learn about gene expression studies in progressive supranuclear palsy in Mayo Clinic's Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration Lab led by Nilufer Ertekin-Taner, M.D., Ph.D.

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

Recent studies reveal that changes in gene regulation, not just gene sequences, are crucial for the evolution of animal ...
