Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

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, ...

A figure from the paper illustates a key finding of "compromised compartmentalization": chromatin that was locking genes down in health became more open in Alzheimer's, while chromatin that was open ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

A gene-editing tool that can turn genes on and off like a light switch has been developed. Turning a gene on means activating ...

4 edition of Cell by MIT researchers shows the importance of understanding the disease as a battle over how well brain cells control the expression of their genes. The study paints a high-resolution ...

Citrullination, a transformative protein post-translational modification, is gaining recognition for its wide-ranging impact on cellular function and human disease. This process, driven by the enzyme ...

In a recent paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors integrated epigenomic, transcriptomic, and 3D genomic data to ...
