Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn as well as the ...

Researchers identified a maize mutant, ven2, with impaired sucrose metabolism, leading to changes in protein accumulation. The study highlights the role of the transcription factor SRF1 in translating ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and treat diabetes, the drugs were later found to promote weight loss and improve ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are medical conditions characterized by the progressive degradation ...

The authors conclude that mRNA vaccines “induce a gene-altering [mode of action], reprogramming host expression programs” that go far beyond inflammatory responses to Spike protein. Effects include ...

A group of natural compounds attracting attention for their anti-aging potential has a dark side. New research shows how a ...

Scientists developed a new mRNA platform that keeps vaccines and therapies effective in older adults and patients with obesity, where current treatments often lose potency.
