Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms toxic tangles in Alzheimer's disease. The findings, ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

The ability to control the expression of therapeutic genes within a “therapeutic window” is crucial to ensure the development of safe and effective gene therapies, but to date, there has been no ...

Researchers have created a battery-powered device that stimulates gene expression and prompts cells to produce insulin in diabetic mice, cracking open a door to a future where wearable electronics ...
