Gene expression leading to alterations in the DNA caused by asbestos exposure may explain the development of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare and aggressive cancer. By analyzing public RNA ...
A study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals a path of cause-effect molecular events that can lead to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Duncan Neurological ...
Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms toxic tangles in Alzheimer's disease. The findings, ...
Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...
Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...
