Tesamorelin is a synthetic 44–amino acid analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) that has attracted attention outside the experimental domain for its potential as a research tool. This ...

Scientists studying thousands of rats discovered that gut bacteria are shaped by both personal genetics and the genetics of ...

This important study provides a detailed analysis of the transcriptional landscape of the mouse hippocampus in the context of various physiological states. The main conclusions have solid support: ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

Triglia discusses her research at the intersection of genetics, epigenetics, single-cell genomics and computational biology.

A large study of rats shows that genes shape the gut microbiome in two ways: directly, by influencing an individual’s own ...

If something similar occurs in humans, and given growing evidence that the gut microbiome matters for health, genetic ...

In humans, only two genes have been reliably linked to gut bacteria: the lactase gene, which influences milk-digesting ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

A newly revealed molecular tug-of-war may have implications for better understanding how a multitude of diseases and ...
