A study suggests that mechanical load from the heart's constant beating may suppress cancer cell growth, explaining the rarity of heart cancer. It highlights that mechanical forces in heart tissues ...

Gene regulation timing, controlled by non-coding DNA elements, drives limb development, with disruptions leading to distinct ...

Using CRISPR, multiomics, and machine learning, molecular biologist Larschan unravels the mysteries of the X chromosome.

Groundbreaking Phase 1/2a clinical trials co-led by Linda Laux, MD, from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, show that the first gene regulation treatment for epilepsy is safe and ...

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, finds that changes in animal development induced by climate shock persist ...

Researchers have shown that different epigenome proteins can produce distinct gene expression patterns from the same gene, offering new insights into genetic regulation. The findings could help ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Gene editing tools are powering new innovation in the plant sciences world, but that brings new considerations of intellectual property and regulatory risks. Ever since powerful new gene editing tools ...
