New USC study reveals how DNA loops silence gene activity

The blueprint for human life lies within the DNA in the nucleus of each of our cells. In human cells, around six and a half feet of this genetic material must be condensed to fit inside the nucleus. DNA condensation is not random.

TRPC3 emerges as key player in preventing damage from alcohol-associated liver disease

Excessive alcohol intake is strongly associated with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) which accounts for 25% and 30% of deaths from cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Impairment of Ca2+ influx and Ca2+-mediated signaling in ALD suggests that Ca2+ channels are important in ALD pathological progression.

Revolutionary brain scan lights up glioma's Achilles heel

Recently, a team of South Korean researchers led by nuclear medicine physician and Professor Yun Mijin from Severance Hospital in collaboration with Director C. Justin LEE of the Center for Cognition and Sociality within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) made a new discovery that can revolutionize both the diagnosis and treatment of glioblastoma.
