Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Researchers have uncovered nearly 150 hidden DNA “switches” inside brain support cells that control the activity of genes ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...

The researchers used a genetic tool called CRISPRi that can mute DNA sections without permanently cutting them. The tool was ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current genetic research. Because .

Explore how aggressive breast cancer evades immune defences and discover potential treatment strategies with our latest ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

Researchers found that sunburn disables a natural skin defense, allowing inflammation to trigger dangerous changes in cells. Understanding this process could help stop skin cancer before it starts.

Why cells grow to just the right size has long baffled scientists. Too small or too large, and cells can trigger serious diseases, but the genetic switch behind this balance has remained elusive. Now, ...
