There are only about 20,000 different genes in the human genome, yet our bodies are filled with an incredible diversity of cell types performing innumerable functions. The key to that diversity in ...
Transcription factors are an essential part of gene expression. Some of these proteins are known as master regulators, and they can have an impact on many different biochemical pathways and processes ...
Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...
Pathogen recognition is based on the presence of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to coordinate the immune cascade. These receptors are encoded ...
EPFL researchers uncover how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences in dose can steer cells toward completely different fates.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CAMP4 Therapeutics, a biotechnology company harnessing the power of regulatory RNA to restore healthy gene expression, announced research published by the lab of ...
Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...
While targeted protein and RNA degradation are hot areas for R&D, the drugs developed so far come with limitations. Now, a new class with broader applications may not be far off. In a study published ...
Early in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it was clear that quick and accurate diagnostic techniques were required to deal with emerging infections and offset the negative impacts of ...
