GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and ...

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, necessitating deeper insights into its molecular underpinnings beyond genetic predisposition. Epigenetic modifications, ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and ...

Researchers developed e2MPRA, a high-throughput technique that simultaneously measures cis-regulatory element activity and epigenetic state. By analyzing thousands of sequences, the method showed that ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis develops rapidly after joint injury, yet current treatments largely address symptoms rather ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

RNA modification is a key regulator of neuroblastoma oncogenesis and differentiation. NSUN6, a 5-methylcytosine-specific messenger ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers analyzed 10,000 to reveal how variants shape gene activity.
