Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Origin-recognition complex, or ORC, plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. This is the first detailed study ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have revealed that diet and exercise can change gene regulation in the skeletal muscle of East Asians, highlighting the critical role of ...

Vitamin C is a key nutritional component in fruits, yet its concentration often changes dramatically as fruits develop.
