Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

A gene expression program executed by neutrophils and a corresponding biomarker support tumor progression across human and murine tumors.

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

Renowned as first responders to threatening infections, neutrophils also happen to feature prominently in the ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology ...

While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans ...

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...
