Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Site-specific therapy guided by gene-expressing profiling (GEP) could improve outcomes for patients with previously untreated cancers of unknown primary (CUP), Chinese researchers suggested. In their ...

Scientists show in mice how time-restricted eating influences gene expression across more than 22 regions of the body and brain. The findings have implications for a wide range of health conditions ...

While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans ...

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 ...

How rapidly gene expression in a single cell changes over time can provide insight into how cells might become more specialized. A new method to calculate RNA velocity, developed by researchers at ...

Single-cell analyses revealed molecular profiles that can distinguish PTSD from depression, potentially leading to better drugs for this psychiatric disorder. To test this hypothesis, Girgenti and his ...

Et si les chiens détenaient une partie du secret de l’obésité humaine ? Dans le cadre d’une étude publiée ce jeudi dans la revue Science, portant sur des labradors, des chercheurs ont identifié un ...
