Gene dysregulation is a hallmark of disease, driving pathogenic phenotypes and poor patient outcomes. RNA binding proteins are often important human gene effectors, controlling RNA synthesis, ...
A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, finds that changes in animal ...
In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...
The fungal-derived meroterpenoid pyripyropene A exhibits significant biological activities, including potent inhibition of acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) and high insecticidal efficacy ...
Peptide science has expanded rapidly in recent decades, revealing molecules with intriguing signaling roles that may influence diverse regenerative and organizational processes within an organism.
What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
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 ...
What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...
