Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

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 ...

Gene expression and pathway analysis constitute a critical nexus in modern molecular biology, facilitating the exploration of how genes collectively influence cellular functions and disease processes.

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying ...

SynGenSys, a biotechnology company designing synthetic gene promoter systems to address critical bottlenecks in biopharma manufacturing and enhance cell and gene therapy development, today announced ...

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin disease linked to several long-term health conditions, such as heart disease, ...

Oxygen is vital to the body. When levels of oxygen in the blood get too low, serious problems can arise. This can happen as people recover from some disorders that can drive oxygen levels down, such ...

Some mammals hibernate to survive in winter, but the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus) employs Dehnel's phenomenon to get ...

A major new study has uncovered gene clues that could pave the way to personalised psoriasis treatments. Psoriasis is a ...
