Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements.

A multi-institutional team of investigators have developed a catalog of transcription factor binding sites that regulate gene expression across the genome, according to a recent study published in ...

Our social interactions can help or harm our health. Insights into the biology of stress from a psycho-neuro-immunological lens offer strategies for a resilient stress response.

New research adds to our understanding of the function of the human genome. An international team of researchers has made ...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like propionate and butyrate are critical byproducts of dietary fiber digestion. These ...

In this review of RNA therapies, we paint an overview of what’s going on in a field that is addressing a number of diseases.

Understanding the reprogramming of gene expression and metabolism is critical for the success of somatic embryogenesis-based plant tissue regeneration. Here, the authors report single-cell RNA ...

This is a useful study that seeks to address the role of the TET family of DNA demethylation enzymes in pancreatic beta cell senescence in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although the concepts ...

Gene expression is the generation of a functional gene product from the information encoded by a gene, through the processes of transcription and translation. Gene products are often proteins ...

A global team has made a significant advance in understanding how bacterial plasmids contribute to antibiotic resistance.

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow bacteria to build resistance to drugs.

Children born in spring or summer with a specific gene variant may have a higher risk of celiac disease and lower levels of a key protein, according to a study, potentially helping future research on ...
