Two particular repressor genes in a family of regulatory genes are vital for controlling cell proliferation during development of the placenta. Their absence in stem cells results in a placenta ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the ...

Downregulating activity is how healthy genes should shift out of their development cycle. The results, published in the journal Current Biology, discuss how specific repressor proteins -- which ...

Furthermore, their findings suggest that repressor genes that originally evolved to shut down jumping genes have since come to play other regulatory roles in the genome. “We have basically the same 20 ...

Even in a calm, unchanging environment, cells are not static. Among other actions, cells activate and then deactivate some types of transcription factors—proteins that control the expression of ...
