Gene Expression News and Research

RSS

Gene Expression is the process by which a gene gets turned on in a cell to make RNA and proteins. Gene expression may be measured by looking at the RNA, or the protein made from the RNA, or what the protein does in a cell.

Common diabetes medication identified as a possible treatment for atrial fibrillation

Cleveland Clinic researchers have identified a common diabetes medication, metformin, as a possible treatment for atrial fibrillation.

Scientists discover a promising strategy for development of broad-spectrum antiviral therapies

Researchers have identified a promising strategy for development of broad-spectrum antiviral therapies that centers around promoting a strong immune response capable of stopping a number of viruses in their infectious tracks.

Light-Seq technology for barcoding and deep-sequencing selected cell populations in tissues

Under the microscope, researchers often observe different cell types organizing themselves in peculiar patterns within tissues, or sometimes a rare cell type that stands out by occupying a unique position, exhibiting an unusual shape, or expressing a specific biomarker molecule.

Brain changes can be studied in very early stages of neurodegenerative diseases

Many changes take place in the brain long before symptoms appear. This has been shown in mice in two studies of prion diseases in which the brain gradually deteriorates.

KAUST research could open new avenues for cancer drug development

Precise details of how a master regulator of gene expression binds its activating partner could open new avenues for cancer drug development.

Age plays a more important role than genetics in affecting gene expression profiles as we get older

Amid much speculation and research about how our genetics affect the way we age, a University of California, Berkeley, study now shows that individual differences in our DNA matter less as we get older and become prone to diseases of aging, such as diabetes and cancer.

New class of drugs can safely counter allergic asthma without creating vulnerability to infections

Blocking the action of calcium signals in immune cells suppresses the most common form of asthma, but without compromising the body's defenses against flu viruses, a new study finds.

NEI researchers create a high-resolution map of retinal cell chromatin contract points

National Eye Institute researchers mapped the organization of human retinal cell chromatin, the fibers that package 3 billion nucleotide-long DNA molecules into compact structures that fit into chromosomes within each cell's nucleus.

Study uncovers how the TAZ protein protects hematopoietic stem cells from aging

A well-functioning immune system is essential for protection against infections. However, with increasing age, the functioning of the immune system diminishes, which is also due to age-related damage in hematopoietic (blood) stem cells.

Researchers take new approach to studying the development of the human brain

Researchers at ETH Zurich are growing human brain-like tissue from stem cells and are then mapping the cell types that occur in different brain regions and the genes that regulate their development.

Histone mimicry by SARS-CoV-2 protein disrupts epigenetic regulation of host cells

Researchers demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 protein functions as a histone mimic to disrupt the epigenetic regulation of host cells.

MSU researchers use big data and AI to identify existing drugs to fight new COVID-19 variants

MSU researchers are using big data and AI to identify current drugs that could be applied to treat new COVID-19 variants.

Scientists discover a new drug-resistance mechanism in breast cancer

Scientists from Università Cattolica in Rome, together with colleagues from the IIGM Foundation (part of Candiolo Institute at Turin), have discovered a new drug-resistance mechanism in breast cancer that leads to the formation of cancer stem cells, (the cells that feed the tumor and cause relapse and metastasis).

Intranasal vaccine represents an effective broad-spectrum COVID-19 vaccine strategy

Researchers evaluated the efficacy of dNS1-RBD, a novel intranasal COVID-19 vaccine.

Multiomic comparison shows a reduction in circulating monocytes correlated with persistent post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis

In a new study, researchers identified distinguishing immune features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with late-resolving pulmonary fibrosis (LR COVID-PF) and early-resolving (ER COVID-PF).

What are the genetic associations of stroke pathogenesis across ancestry groups?

In new research, researchers identified genetic associations of stroke pathogenesis.

Immune cell defect tied to the risk of developing rare bacterial infection

Everyone breathes in Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteria from time to time, but most people don't get sick.

Mount Sinai study suggests significant role of reactive oxygen species in maintaining healthy intestines

Mount Sinai researchers have published one of the first studies to demonstrate the importance of reactive oxygen species in maintaining stem cell function and preventing inflammation during wound repair, which could provide greater insights into the prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), according to findings published in the journal Gut on October 3.

UAB study finds distinct kidney resident macrophage subpopulations located in spatially discrete microenvironments

Macrophages are immune cells that engulf and digest pathogens, cancer cells or cellular debris. The kidneys - like other tissues in the body - contain kidney resident macrophages, or KRMs, from the time of birth.

Houston Methodist researchers receive CPRIT funding to research two of the most lethal cancers

Two Houston Methodist cancer researchers have been awarded a half million dollars in funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas to further research two of the most lethal, difficult-to-treat cancers that all-too-often have poor prognoses.
