Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Researchers have created the most comprehensive map to date of DNA elements that regulate gene activity, nearly tripling the ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

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

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

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when ...

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 ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

As we age, we don't recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UCSF has found gene ...
