Gene regulation is the fundamental process through which cells control the expression of genetic information, ensuring that genes are activated at the appropriate time and in the correct context. In ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

Graphical summary of the study. Overweight or obese East Asian individuals underwent a 16-week lifestyle intervention involving diet and exercise. The study revealed improvements in metabolic health, ...

Scientists at UNIGE Faculty of Medicine show how genetic switches activate then deactivate the genes responsible for embryonic development. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, decipher ...

Triterpenoid saponins are widely valued for their diverse pharmacological activities and also play important defensive roles ...

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: ...

Studying over 100,000 embryos revealed genetic factors behind chromosome segregation issues that lead to aneuploidy, ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

An international study led by the University of Oulu provides new insight into why some people develop allergic eye symptoms easily, while others ...

Genomic analysis across 14 psychiatric disorders reveals extensive shared genetic architecture, challenging diagnostic ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have revealed that diet and exercise can change gene regulation in the skeletal muscle of East Asians, highlighting the critical role of ...
