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.

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.

Study decodes the heterogeneity of tumor-infiltrating immune cell composition in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

In Finland, about 700 people are identified with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) every year.

24 Feb 2022

Recent study reveals the code involved in human gene regulation

The logic that handles gene regulation in human cells has been discovered by a team of researchers at the University of Helsinki.

24 Feb 2022

Key regulator of cell differentiation discovered

Embryonic stem cells and other pluripotent cells divide rapidly and have the capacity to become nearly any cell type in the body.

22 Feb 2022

Researchers identify protein switch that regulates enzymes in pathogens

Proteins are the “workhorses” of all living cells and are the chemical foundation of life.

Study findings likely to be instrumental in synthetic biology approaches

Plant geneticists can utilize a range of synthetic biology tools made by a group at Louisiana State University (LSU) to drive gene expression.

Study reveals how a fly’s brain contributes to sensing the cold and limiting reproduction

Scientists have uncovered a set of neurons in fruit flies that shut down in cold temperatures and slow reproduction, a system conserved in many insects, including mosquitoes, which could provide a target for pest control.

Experts trigger apoptosis in leukemia cells by disrupting their energy maintenance mechanism

A group of researchers from UNIGE in Switzerland and Inserm in France has discovered a previously unknown process that could lead to the creation of novel medicines.

Discovery of chiral evasion could lead to more resilient inhibitors, better drug designs

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial infection that has become resistant to most of the antibiotics used to treat regular staph infections.

Researchers engineer strains of nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium to produce ammonia

Researchers from Washington State University have engineered strains of the ubiquitous, nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii to produce ammonia and excrete it at high concentrations, transferring it into crop plants in lieu of conventional chemical fertilizers.
