A patient walks into a thoracic surgery consultation with a small lung tumor, stage I on every scan, and every conventional ...

Spinal translational control mechanisms regulate gene expression and nociceptive circuit sensitization during the chronic phase of neuropathic pain.

Within the realm of genetic regulation, chromatin modifications such as histone methylation and acetylation play pivotal roles in the transcriptional control of genes. Disruptions in these processes ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally evolved gene-editing system that can activate genes, offering an advantage ...

Erica Periandri and Gabor Egervari, from Washington University in St. Louis, led a study to explore how alcohol exposure in ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...

A genetic variant carried by at least one-fifth of the population may do far more than raise the odds of developing Alzheimer’s disease. New research argues that inheriting two copies of the APOE4 ...
