Join the Amoeba Sisters as they discuss gene expression and regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This video defines gene expression and explains how gene expression relates to gene regulation ...

More than six million Americans are affected by Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia marked by accumulation of amyloid-β within the brain. Amyloid-β is a relatively small protein that forms toxic ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

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 ...

A collaborative effort between Mount Sinai and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help ...

On the 22nd of January, KAIST (represented by President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced that the joint research team led by Professors Seyun Kim, Gwangrog Lee, and Won-Ki Cho from the Department of ...

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain development. Prof. Tomohisa Toda at the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und ...
