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

The global gene synthesis market size was valued at USD 2.20 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach from USD 2.55 billion in 2025 to USD 9.54 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 15.8% during the ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.

People genetically susceptible to Huntington's disease often see their movement, mood, and cognition decline slowly over time.

Researchers at Tufts University revealed a possible molecular mechanism explaining how the DNA repeats are broken and then expanded in the Huntington’s disease gene, pointing to a component of the ...

Scientists have discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one ...

The new finding is published in Cell in an article titled, “ SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions ,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome ...

A global team has made a significant advance in understanding how bacterial plasmids contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses ...

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease is a debilitating, progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects about 7 million ...

Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements.
