The book builds from the basic relationship between promoters, operators and repressors that is at the heart of the decision between bacteriophage lambda's two lifestyles, lysis and lysogeny. The ...

Scientists reprogrammed two widely used “chemically induced proximity” systems in a recent chemical science paper. CIP systems are very simple: when a small molecule is added, two engineered protein ...

Researchers develop synthetic markers that cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing for noninvasive monitoring of the living brain via blood tests.

A fundamental principle of molecular biology governs how proteins are made within the cell, which happens in two stages called transcription and translation. During transcription, information stored ...

Gene therapy has been successfully used to treat a number of diseases, including immune deficiencies, hereditary blindness, ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and treat diabetes, the drugs were later found to promote weight loss and improve ...

Patients identified as having a Janus kinase inhibitor responder profile were much more likely to respond positively to the class of atopic dermatitis therapies. Scientists have identified gene ...

This article explains how diet creates sustained epigenetic changes that affect long-term health, disease risk, aging, and ...

Gene therapy that can cross the blood–brain barrier represents a non-invasive way to map gene expression in the brains of ...
