Addiction can be a loaded term. The word originated in the 16th century to denote an abnormal attachment, typically to ...

Spanning from the heart-stage embryo to seed germination, the study charts dynamic gene expression patterns in the embryo axis and cotyledon ...

In a nutshell Scientists identified 473 “switch-like” genes that act more like on/off light switches than dimmers — either fully active or completely silent. These genetic switches are linked to risks ...

Human exposure to toxic particles drives various diseases. Examples include gout, an acute arthritis driven by monosodium urate crystals, or MSUc; CPPD disease, another inflammatory joint disease ...

A breakthrough assay is advancing how researchers observe gene expression in real time. Named QRIVTA (quantitative real-time ...

In this valuable study, the authors provide a simple yet elegant approach to identifying therapeutic targets that synergize to prevent therapeutic resistance in ovarian cancer using cell lines, ...

A new annotation approach based on cross-species conservation reveals regulatory roles of transposons in human development.

By fostering collaboration, accountability and innovation, self-regulatory models can help build a more integrated, ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...

Transcriptional regulatory elements are nucleotide sequences of a gene that are involved in regulation of genetic transcription. These include the promoter, plus response elements, activator and ...

A research team has created the first complete transcriptome atlas of soybean embryo development, offering unprecedented insights into how gene activity shapes seed growth, nutrient storage, and ...
