Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to ...

Fred Hutch researchers have done pioneering work in the areas of gene regulation, chromatin organization and cell cycle state, including quiescence. Gene expression is important because a specific ...

Gills and mammalian ears bear little resemblance, yet examination of gene regulation reveals that key supportive cartilage tissue arises from similar embryonic cells guided by an evolutionarily ...

The dynamic structure of RNA plays a central role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression such as RNA maturation, degradation, and translation. With the rise of next-generation ...

Understanding the language of gene regulation holds the potential for great benefit to human health, said Yang E. Li, assistant professor in the departments of neurosurgery and genetics at ...

Gene silencing is a negative feedback mechanism that regulates gene expression to define cell fate and also regulates metabolism and gene expression throughout the life of an organism. In plants, gene ...

The first human trial of insulin-producing cells that have been gene-edited to evade immune attack is a success so far. The cells have survived and produced insulin for a month after being ...

The TP53 gene is a gene that is mutated in many cancers. It is the most common gene mutation found in cancer cells. A tumor-suppressor gene, TP53 codes for a protein that inhibits the development and ...

British lawmakers voted against launching a national inquiry into the U.K. grooming gang scandal on Wednesday, after objections to the way the vote was being put forward – and amid international ...
