Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

E very time you throw darts or ride a bike or even work out, you’re engaging your muscle memory. New research from the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences published in Science Advances shows our ...

Human metabolism is regulated by internal clocks, the so-called circadian rhythms. Many processes, such as sugar uptake, fat ...

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.

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Gene expression experiments measure changes in RNA transcript levels to compare how genes are up- or down-regulated across ...

Bio-based polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are considered one of the most promising sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived plastics. Poly[(D-lactate)-co-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (LAHB) is an ...
