There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

UCSF scientists engineered old fibroblast cells to turn their genes on and off in the same way as young fibroblasts. The old ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

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 ...

As we age, we don't recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UCSF has found gene ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Scientists identified 473 human genes that act as genetic “on/off switches,” shaping disease risk through tissue-specific or universal patterns regulated by DNA changes and hormones. Study: ...

Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased ...

Vitamin C is a key nutritional component in fruits, yet its concentration often changes dramatically as fruits develop.
