Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept, the ...

Escherichia coli cycles between two principal habitats-intestines of warm-blooded animals and water, sediment, and soil-that are shown to be quite distinct with respect to physical conditions and the ...

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

SRF is a transcription factor directly controlling the expression of at least 200-300 genes, regulating cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis, and motility, and is indispensable for organ development, ...

Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue. That is why a team led by researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB ...
