Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which the information contained in DNA is copied into RNA to eventually give rise ...

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 ...

Biotechnology start-ups are often advised to think early about process design to avoid hiccups during scaleup. A clinical-stage gene-therapy developer has taken this approach to heart, saying they’ve ...

The expression of proteins for characterization, therapeutics, and diagnostics continues to be a challenging and complex task, requiring much time and untold expense. The payoffs, though, are well ...

Vitamin C is a key nutritional component in fruits, yet its concentration often changes dramatically as fruits develop.

Unlike animals, plants generate most organs after embryogenesis through stem cell–driven meristems, enabling lifelong growth ...
