How is it that your body with all of its specialized organs developed from a single cell? Scientists are exploring how gene expression patterns and their timing regulate cell differentiation. Today, ...
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 ...
Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...
Several clinical trials are testing to inhibit the LSD1 protein's ability to modify gene expression. However, the study shows that LSD1 not only affects gene expression in the way previously assumed ...
DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...
A team at Johns Hopkins Medicine has focused their work on myelin development using oligodendrocytes to help study conditions like MS.
DNA can be thought of as a vast library that stores all genetic information. Cells do not use this information all at once.
Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...
New research shows hibernating mammals protect muscle stem cells by suppressing activation, inflammation, and regeneration during cold, inactive periods.
