Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to ...

Work is currently underway to develop plant-derived vaccine candidates in potatoes and lettuce for hepatitis B virus (HBV), enterotoxigenic ... the fact that the genes being transferred occur ...

The TP53 gene is a gene that is mutated in many cancers. It is the most common gene mutation found in cancer cells. A tumor-suppressor gene, TP53 codes for a protein that inhibits the development and ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors ...

Scientists led by a team at Columbia University have trained a model to predict how the genes inside a cell will drive its behavior, which could be a powerful tool with the potential to broaden ...

Overall, scientists think that how long we live is about 25 percent attributable to our genes, and 75 percent attributable to our environment and lifestyle. But as people near 100 and beyond ...

Types 1 and 2 diabetes appear to be caused by an interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Over the years, researchers have found an array of specific genes that are linked to ...

Human brain cells, classified into different groups according to gene expression (each color represents a group), are mapped back to their original locations in the human brain. A detailed analysis of ...

In developing countries diarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in children, with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) being the most common enteropathogen ...

The same is now possible in gene editing. Rather than employ separate tools for editing genes and regulating their expression, these distinct goals can now be combined into a single tool that can ...

Dr. Castel also vowed not to patent any genes — as many other companies had done — but rather the drugs his company developed from the partnership. “A lot of people told us this was a crazy ...

Significant gene variants were found in the loci DRD2, FURIN, and CYP7B1, which play a part in neuroinflammation, neurosteroid synthesis, and synaptic function.
