Chloride ions, best known for helping cells maintain fluid balance and electrical stability, may also play a more direct role ...

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 ...

It could be simply to control gene expression." The study, "Global impact of unproductive splicing on human gene expression levels and traits," was supported by funding from the National Institutes of ...

A study published in the journal Cell marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells.

Spinal translational control mechanisms regulate gene expression and nociceptive circuit sensitization during the chronic phase of neuropathic pain.

Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with ...

Cross-species research shows that RNA splicing patterns, not just gene activity, track maximum lifespan in mammals, revealing ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...
