This important study demonstrates the potential of synthetic gene circuits to detect and target aberrant RAS activity in cancer cell lines. The circuit design is novel and the evidence supporting the ...

An MTF2-containing subcomplex of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 promotes cell cycle progression through repression of D-type cyclin expression in certain cellular contexts.

Scientists at deCODE genetics have unveiled a groundbreaking map of human DNA mixing during reproduction, offering insights into genetic diversity, health, and fertility. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...

This happens through a process called epigenetics, whereby certain genes are expressed to a greater or lesser extent depending on a person’s surroundings. Abused children, for instance ...

The answer lies in a faulty DNA-repair mechanism in neurons that ramps up until the number of errors hits a critical threshold and the neurons start to die 1. A study of the neurons hit hardest by ...
