Gene Expression News and Research

RSS

Gene Expression is the process by which a gene gets turned on in a cell to make RNA and proteins. Gene expression may be measured by looking at the RNA, or the protein made from the RNA, or what the protein does in a cell.

Transcriptomic analysis of Alzheimer's patients reveals early organelle dysfunction in astrocytes

An international group of researchers led by the UAB analyzed the genes that are expressed in neurons and astrocytes based on data from 800 individuals and compared what happens in Alzheimer's patients and in people without diagnosed dementia.

New map tracks cellular trajectories across mouse embryogenensis

Scientists have mapped out the key molecular changes that orchestrate how embryonic mouse cells differentiate into the diverse cell types that will ultimately form all the different tissues and organs of the adult animal.

Researchers discover protein that turbocharges gene response

Researchers are attempting to figure out what happens when our genes are switched “on,” for many years.

Research shows DLX2 protein regenerate astrocytes into neural stem-like cells

A single protein may turn adult brain cells termed astrocytes into stem-like cells that create neurons and other cell types, according to UT Southwestern researchers.

Placenta plays an active role in the delivery of maternal vitamin D to the fetus

Scientists have shed new light on the role of the placenta in managing the relationships between maternal vitamin D and fetal development, according to a study published today in eLife.

Researchers identify the underlying molecular mechanism for development of chronic pain

One epigenetic factor as well as one organic anion transporter (OAT1), whose function in the nervous system was hitherto unknown, contribute to the development of chronic pain.

Study takes a deep dive into the molecular biology of the brain in bipolar disorder patients

In a comprehensive study involving one of the largest-ever samples of post-mortem brains, scientists at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development, in collaboration with researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, have pinpointed significant differences in gene expression in two specific regions of the brains of hundreds of patients who had bipolar disorder.

Researchers observe cellular rejuvenation therapy securely promoting reverse aging in mice

Researchers at Salk observed no rise in cancer or other health problems in mice treated with an anti-aging regimen at the beginning of their middle age.

Multi-omics approach help researchers study the disparity created by in vitro culture

Citrus is a significant and economically beneficial horticultural crop with nucellar polyembryony, which prevents hybrid offspring from being produced. Citrus is produced mostly through asexual methods like grafting and cuttings.

Researchers discover unusual exploitation of the human immune system by fungus Candida albicans

During infection, the yeast Candida albicans stimulates the release of tiny RNA fragments, which then stimulate its own growth.

Men and women do have immune cell differences, study says

Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology have uncovered novel genes associated with the risk of autoimmune disorders in the CD4+ “helper” T cell subset.

Researchers discover a new epigenetic mark in small freshwater animals

Your DNA holds the blueprint to build your body, but it's a living document: Adjustments to the design can be made by epigenetic marks.

HDO technology found to be effective at silencing problematic genes

T and B lymphocytes, which are part of a group of immune cells commonly called white blood cells, work together to eliminate foreign invaders in the body such as viruses.

Scientists elucidate mechanism that causes treatment resistance in aggressive pancreatic cancer

Drug resistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of cancers. In an aggressive type of pancreatic cancer, for instance, drug resistance is associated with the suppression of programmed cell death, which results in the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.

Study identifies a new cancer cell state related to poor treatment response in ovarian cancer patients

The prognosis for ovarian cancer patients is grim: less than half of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) patients survive past five years from diagnosis. Initially, the tumors typically respond well to chemotherapy but become resistant after repeated treatments, enabling the cancer to regrow.
