Each cell of the human body contains two meters of DNA. The whole secret lies in the intricate three-dimensional arrangement ...

This study is the first to demonstrate that certain tRNA introns influence gene expression. Scientists have discovered that ...

MIT neuroscientists have made a breakthrough in treating fragile X syndrome by leveraging a novel neurotransmitter signaling ...

Researchers say if their results are confirmed through further study they are optimistic the approach could be used to treat chronic infections for the first time.

Both Tabrizi and Yang think that knocking down MSH3 could stave off HD pathology. Tabrizi noted that MSH3 also modifies other run-on repeats, including those causing fragile X syndrome, myotonic ...

All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

Type-1 interferons regulate immune responses and the production of self-reactive antibodies that target red blood cells in a SCD mouse model.

A discovery offers new hope in the battle against pulmonary fibrosis, a debilitating lung condition that progressively makes it harder for patients to breathe. Scientists have pinpointed proteins in ...

A discovery at Duke-NUS Medical School offers new hope in the battle against pulmonary fibrosis, a debilitating lung ...

This valuable work presents how PRDM16 plays a critical role during colloid plexus development, through regulating BMP signaling. Solid evidence supports the context-dependent gene regulatory ...
