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

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

The granin family of neuropeptides function as peptide neurotransmitters for cell–cell signaling in the brain that is essential for the regulation of brain functions, including memory, depression, ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

This manuscript presents an in-depth analysis of gene expression across multiple brown algal species with differing life histories, providing convincing evidence for the conservation of life ...

Background: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive lung disease with limited treatment options. Loss of BMPR2 expression is a well-established contributor to PAH pathogenesis.

Origin-recognition complex, or ORC, plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. This is the first detailed study ...

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 ...

A surprising discovery shows that seemingly disordered gene-regulating proteins rely on a structured partner to function. This hidden order could have major implications for understanding gene control ...

Each cell type has a different set of active genes that allow it to carry out a distinct role. Cells need to be able to change which genes are expressed efficiently in response to different stimuli.
