Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells ...

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 ...

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 ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

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

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

PCR-based techniques have transformed how scientists analyze transcripts’ translational applications in cancer and neuroscience research.

Traditionally, cancer diagnosis and prognosis rely heavily on histopathological examination, where tissue morphology is evaluated under the microscope. However, the molecular ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

GENE202 is a single dose gene therapy for patients with rare metabolic disease, methylmalonic acidaemia.

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...
