Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own version. Cornell researchers have discovered that DNA packaging structures ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.

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 ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

A newly discovered promoter element "start" points to a shared regulatory syntax for controlling transcription initiation in ...

JABSOM Cell and Molecular Biology researcher Dr. Jesse Owens has spent the better part of two decades chasing a vision that ...

Scientists have discovered a genetic process which could unlock new ways to treat a mysterious and deadly fungal infection ...
