How is it that your body with all of its specialized organs developed from a single cell? Scientists are exploring how gene expression patterns and their timing regulate cell differentiation. Today, ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

Thymalin is a polypeptide complex derived from thymic preparations (often of bovine or calf origin), known to harbor among ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Research has uncovered a previously unknown, widespread role of ORC in regulating human cell gene expression. New work has revealed a much wider role for origin-recognition complex (ORC) in regulating ...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer and begins in the cells lining the ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

This breakthrough allows researchers to visualize where individual genes are active at the cellular level—information that has long been missing due to technical limitations in tea biology. By ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...
