DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...
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 ...
What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...
Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...
