Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept, the ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Translocations are chromosomal “cut and paste” errors that drive many lymphomas, a type of blood cancer and the sixth most common form of cancer overall. This includes mantle cell lymphoma, a rare but ...

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 ...

The SWI/SNF Ig-Fold for Transcription Factor Interactions or 'SWIFT' domain on mSWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes engage ...

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye-called the ...
