Switches' in our DNA that affect gene activity in cells could be crucial to understanding and possibly treating Alzheimer's ...

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 ...

SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.

A multi-omics study identifies causal genes and biological subtypes of long COVID, revealing new therapeutic targets for ...

New method ASPEN accurately maps gene activity from each parent in individual cells, overcoming noise in data. It revealed ...

Researchers have identified specific coupled patterns of brain activity and gene expression that help explain impulsive behavior in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. By analyzing ...

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 ...

Scientists studying Alzheimer’s in African Americans have uncovered a striking genetic clue that may cut across racial lines.

A U.S. research team has confirmed in a mouse study that suppressing a specific gene in the brain can boost attention. This approach contrasts with existing treatment strategies that enhance neural ci ...
