Mysterious Blobs Found inside Cells Are Rewriting the Story of How Life Works Tiny specks called biomolecular condensates are ...

The genetic information stored in DNA is a living archive of instructions that cells use to accomplish the functions of life. Inside each cell, catalysts seek out the appropriate information from ...

Researchers have struggled to unravel what causes cryptic transcription in human cells because cryptic transcripts are difficult to detect and distinguish from other RNA transcripts with traditional ...

This simple example illustrates how transcription can be regulated in both cis and trans to cause changes in cell function. Therefore, while bacteria accomplish transcription of all genes using a ...

Transcription factors are proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences to control gene expression, guiding cells to become specific types—such as skin, muscle, or placenta cells. While TFs are ...

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

A research team has identified the transcription factor Lhx2 (LIM homeobox protein 2) as a key regulator in hepatic stellate cells. Lhx2 was found to simultaneously promote liver regeneration and ...

SAN FRANCISCO, February 13, 2025 -- ( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Junevity, a biotechnology company on a mission to extend lifespan and ...

Torsional stress in chromatin plays a fundamental role in cellular functions, influencing key processes such as transcription, replication, and chromatin organization. Transcription and other ...

A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a delicate balance between interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and extracellular ...

Casdatifan targets a transcription factor that binds with other proteins to switch off the body’s anti-inflammatory mechanisms, empowering genes that promote tumor growth in clear cell renal cell ...
