MIT engineers develop a new system for precise control of synthetic gene expression, potentially advancing gene therapy.

For decades, synthetic biologists have been developing gene circuits that can be transferred into cells for applications such ...

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 figure from the paper illustates a key finding of "compromised compartmentalization": chromatin that was locking genes down in health became more open in Alzheimer's, while chromatin that was open ...

New research from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) reveals how missing just one essential amino acid can change gene expression and the brain's sensory systems, prompting animals to seek out ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the ...
