Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

Epigenetic therapies are offering a more targeted way to treat some lymphomas by changing how genes are turned on or off ...

Gene therapy is defined as the treatment of disease by transfer of genetic material into cells, to prevent, treat and potentially even cure a disease. Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms: 1) ...

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 ...

A cell-free genomics approach silences cellular noise and reveals transcription drivers, improving our understanding of a ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment opportunity for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The discovery, ...

GLP-1 drugs have come to be thought of as “wonder drugs,” yet the mechanisms behind their many new health benefits have ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

Highly repetitive regions of junk DNA may be the key to a newly discovered mechanism for gene regulation. The discovery during the Human Genome Project in the early 2000s that we humans have only ...
