How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

A second example of how chemical environments affect gene expression is the case of supplemental oxygen administration causing blindness in premature infants (Silverman, 2004). In the 1940s ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

In a novel theory, scientists at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute propose a unifying explanation for the molecular chaos driving Alzheimer's disease. The condition causes widespread ...

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 ...

This new tool, known as minimal, versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT), combines the powers of gene editing, ...

Proteins are typically located in particular compartments within the cell, where they perform specific functions. However, proteins can also be found in unexpected cellular locations, suggesting that ...

Biology has yet to tap into the full benefits of computer simulations, but a new AI foundation model developed by a team of scientists including CMU's Eric Xing hopes to change that.

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel mechanism that recognizes and eliminates "bad" transcriptional ...

When transcriptional regulation fails to perform properly, unsuitable patterns of gene expression happen which can result in disease. For example, a different study by Princeton University ...

Researchers hope the AI tool will aid in the development of cell-specific gene therapies to treat diseases such as cancer.
