How is it that your body with all of its specialized organs developed from a single cell? Scientists are exploring how gene expression patterns and their timing regulate cell differentiation. Today, ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

A team at Johns Hopkins Medicine has focused their work on myelin development using oligodendrocytes to help study conditions like MS.

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Research has uncovered a previously unknown, widespread role of ORC in regulating human cell gene expression. New work has revealed a much wider role for origin-recognition complex (ORC) in regulating ...

Thymalin is a polypeptide complex derived from thymic preparations (often of bovine or calf origin), known to harbor among ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer and begins in the cells lining the ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive ...
