Nov. 14, 2024 — Researchers have linked disease-related proteins and genes to identify specific cellular pathways responsible for Alzheimer's genesis and progression. The proteins were gathered ...

The researchers found that two significant mutations from millions of years ago had transformed the role of a developmental gene critical to shaping the fruit fly’s head. In a twist of fate ...

Founded in the UK in 2003, for the last 10 years Fly has been operating in the mobile phone markets of Russia, Ukraine, India, Southern Europe and the CIS. The company that started out with feature ...

Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to ...

Our cells contain DNA, a molecule that stores all the genetic information needed to make proteins. A gene is a specific sequence of DNA that carries the instructions for making a protein. In ...

Gene expression is the generation of a functional gene product from the information encoded by a gene, through the processes of transcription and translation. Gene products are often proteins ...

Gene Park is a reporter for The Washington Post, covering video games and gaming culture. He joined The Post in 2015 as audience editor, and is a former reporter in the West Coast and Pacific region.

Transcription factors (TFs) orchestrating lineage-development often control genes required for cellular survival. However, it is not well understood how cells survive when such TFs are lost, for ...

Tumor suppressor genes make proteins that regulate the growth of cells, and they play an important role in preventing the development of cancer cells. When tumor suppressor genes are altered or ...

CRISPR/Cas9 is a gene editing tool that has revolutionized biomedical research and led to the first FDA-approved CRISPR-based gene therapy. However, until now, the precise mechanism of exactly how ...

Here’s how it works. Scientists have discovered a gene variant that could make some parents more likely to have girls than boys. In the new study, researchers analyzed the genomes of around ...
