Moreover, the recent development of photoinducible, synthetic transcription factors allows reversible gene regulation on light stimulus. This offers great spatiotemporal resolution. (9) Theoretically, ...

RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects.

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 ...

Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA ...

Env. factors > genetic variants in determining height of children in LMICs, study finds. Scientists from CCMB, along with ...

This mechanism would ensure efficient transport of messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) into the cytoplasm, in a manner similar to what was proposed in the 'gene gating hypothesis'. Multiple ...

How do cells precisely turn genes on and off? New research on yeast reveals a protein's DNA binding strength and location ...

This achievement not only sheds light on how spiders develop but also shows new possibilities for creating customized spider ...

In football, defense keeps the opposing team in check. A similar strategy is at play inside our cells. Negative feedback ...

Enduro Genetics has developed genetic plugins featuring biosensors and promoters that can detect and regulate mAb production levels in cells.

Fred Hutch announces eight recipients of the 2025 Dr. Eddie Méndez Scholar Award, which honors exceptional postdoctoral researchers in the areas of cancer, infectious disease and basic science.

The Biology of Aggression: From Violent Genes to Neurochemical Triggers The MAOA "warrior gene" (linked to serotonin regulation) increases impulsivity, but environment (e.g., childhood trauma) plays a ...
