Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, ...

Learn about epigenetic studies related to Alzheimer's disease in Mayo Clinic's Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration Lab led by Nilufer Ertekin-Taner, M.D., Ph.D.

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Learn about comparative gene expression studies in Alzheimer's disease and other conditions in Mayo Clinic's Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration Lab.

A newly released publication examines how deuterium concentration may influence gene activity in lung cancer cells. The study ...

Recent studies reveal that changes in gene regulation, not just gene sequences, are crucial for the evolution of animal ...
