Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

As we age, we don't recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UCSF has found gene ...

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

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 ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

Genespire is looking to take its single-dose gene therapy, GENE202, to the clinic by the end of 2026, where it will be ...

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 ...

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 ...

Since the publication of the Human Genome Project, researchers have expanded the field of genomics to probe deeper into the underpinnings of human biology and disease, including studies of the body’s ...
