Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a ...

Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF affect how people ...

The authors have generated important resources such as a reference dataset of early primate development by utilizing single-cell transcriptomic technology together with induced pluripotent stem cells ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Only recently has the ribosome - one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms - been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.

Researchers from Northwestern University have stumbled upon a previously unobserved function of a protein found in the cell ...

Scientists uncovered a key genetic pathway in the origin of feathers, but they found that evolution is stubborn in turning ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...

A new method of examining gene expression patterns called landscape transcriptomics may help pinpoint what causes bumble bees stress and could eventually give insight into why bee populations are ...

Investigators in the laboratory of Gemma Carvill, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Ken and Ruth Davee Department of Neurology Division of Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology, have discovered novel ...
