Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...

Energy deficiencies and inflammation may cause warming-related mortality in Pacific cod larvae.     A new study used gene ...

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 ...

A gene expression program executed by neutrophils and a corresponding biomarker support tumor progression across human and murine tumors.

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 ...

Renowned as first responders to threatening infections, neutrophils also happen to feature prominently in the ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

Recent research indicates that consuming high levels of dietary salt for an extended period may disrupt the delicate balance ...
