Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

Estrogens, the main female sex hormone, although they also perform some functions in men, are involved in a myriad of ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

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 ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...

· Better growth, better results: Every cell type has its ideal pH — mammalian cells prefer about 7.4, while many plant cells ...

Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...
