Inflammation has to fight pathogens fast—but it can't get out of control. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center ...

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for the skin, liver cells express liver genes, and so on. This coordination is ...

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 ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

The deletion of two cancer genes, CHD1 and MAP3K7, improves how well tumors respond to cancer immunotherapy and could be used ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Inflammation hasto fight pathogens fast—but it can't get out of control. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now deciphered in more detail how the organism masters this ...

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept, the ...

Researchers from the University of Chicago (IL, USA) have reported that unstable, or ‘noisy’, chromatin enables cells to take on different roles in the body. This flexibility can support the immune ...
