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.

Study reveals clues what makes the human brain distinct from others

What makes the human brain distinct from that of all other animals - including even our closest primate relatives? In an analysis of cell types in the prefrontal cortex of four primate species, Yale researchers identified species-specific - particularly human-specific - features, they report Aug. 25 in the journal Science.

Chinese researchers identify a new molecular mechanism of NASH pathogenesis

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by liver steatosis, inflammation and injury, has emerged as one of major causes for end-stage liver disease like hepatocellular carcinoma. However, what drives its progression?

How could SARS-CoV-2 viral infection modulate the immune landscape during the active infection phase and recovery in pregnant females?

Researchers examined immune reflexes towards SARS-CoV-2 infection among pregnant women.

Researchers discover how the hearts of neonatal marsupials retain regenerative capacity

Wataru Kimura and colleagues at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research in Japan have discovered how the hearts of newborn marsupials retain the ability to regenerate for several weeks.

Investigating the missing link between COVID-19 and anosmia

A new study evaluated how SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to anosmia via chromatin structure disruption and OR dysregulation. For this purpose, publicly available Hi-C data of OSNs of SARS-CoV-2-infected and control human subjects were used.

New combination therapy shows potential to improve survival in children with neuroblastoma

Children who suffer a relapse of the aggressive cancer known as neuroblastoma have small chances of survival.

Increasing the production of new neurons rescues memory defects in mice with Alzheimer's disease

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have discovered that increasing the production of new neurons in mice with Alzheimer's disease (AD) rescues the animals' memory defects.

New resource can help researchers to assess how key genes control the differentiation of developing embryos

Years of work by developmental biologists from Trinity College Dublin, working with colleagues at the University of Edinburgh's MRC Human Genetics Unit, has yielded a resource of unparalleled detail that will help researchers assess how key genes control the differentiation of tissues and organs of developing embryos.

No one-size-fits-all AI program exists for all preventive treatments

A Rutgers analysis of dozens of artificial intelligence (AI) software programs used in precision, or personalized, medicine to prevent, diagnose and treat disease found that no program exists that can be used for all treatments.

Eating grapes may reduce the risk of fatty liver disease

In a recent study published in the journal Foods, eating grapes can extend life expectancy by five years and reduce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease risk in mice fed high-fat diets.

KAUST bioscientists develop new method to study the bone marrow microenvironment in greater detail

Deep molecular analysis of the bone marrow microenvironment reveals that the cells regulating blood stem cell maintenance are more diverse than expected and have features likely to be conserved between species.

Men exposed to industrial air pollution exhibit sperm mitochondrial DNA deletions

Researchers compare the length spectra of sperm mitochondrial DNA deletions in two seasons with varied air pollution levels.

Gut microbial and immune parameters linked to heterogeneous inter-personal COVID-19 vaccine-triggered immunity

A new study identified the gut microbial and immune variables linked to heterogeneous messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine responses between individuals.

Transposable element controls the immune system to favor host survival during virus infection

Researchers from UNSW Sydney have discovered that a particular transposable element, or jumping gene, in the genome has a profound effect on the immune response to virus infection.

Study aims to understand how female fertility is established at the molecular level

Fertility is finite for mammalian females. From birth, females possess a limited number of primordial follicles, collectively called the ovarian reserve. Within each follicle is an oocyte that eventually becomes an egg. But with age, the follicles in the ovarian reserve decrease.

Gene expression in male and female brains become more similar with age, study says

When male and female fruit flies age, their brains become desexualized. Age-related changes take place in both sexes, but the male brain becomes feminized to a larger extent than the female brain becomes masculinized. This is the conclusion of a study performed by a research group at Linköping University. The findings are published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B.

Traditional Chinese medicine reduces severity of radiation-induced gastrointestinal mucositis in rats

For tens of thousands of Australians who receive radiotherapy as part of their cancer treatment, mucositis is a serious side effect that may cause inflammation, ulcers, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and bloating.
