Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical ...

Scientists have discovered that, when a DNA-reading enzyme moves backwards along a gene, it may do so to help control when the gene is turned on. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Escherichia coli cycles between two principal habitats-intestines of warm-blooded animals and water, sediment, and soil-that are shown to be quite distinct with respect to physical conditions and the ...

Knoepfler is professor of cell biology and human anatomy at UC Davis School of Medicine. Welcome to Lab Dish, a new First Opinion column on regenerative medicine from Paul Knoepfler. Health and Human ...

Our glycemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels. If these cells malfunction, the balance is broken, ...

Since the publication of our article on what to expect for stem cell regulation under the new administration, we’ve been closely monitoring the administration’s enhanced focus on the same. As ...

A new study carried out this year showed that drinking about 500 ml (two cups) of orange juice daily for two months changed the activity of thousands of genes in immune cells ...

Despite South Korea’s advanced regenerative medicine technologies utilizing stem cells, critics point out that regulatory barriers cause an estimated 3 trillion to 5 trillion Korean won in annual ...
