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 sheds new light on the relationship between gut microbiome and autism

The biological roots of autism continue to perplex researchers, despite a growing body of studies looking at an increasing array of genetic, cellular and microbial data.

Space travel weakens immune system by altering gene expression in white blood cells

Evidence is mounting that astronauts are more susceptible to infections while in space. For example, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) commonly suffer from skin rashes, as well as respiratory and non-respiratory diseases.

Aging impacts cellular composition across the whole fly: Study

As the body ages, organ function progressively declines and the risk for a wide range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, increases. Understanding how the body ages is an intense area of research as it will potentially illuminate ways to promote healthy aging.

Innovative method to map specific DNA markings could be used for early cancer detection

Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have invented a new way to map specific DNA markings called 5-methylcytosine (5mC) which regulate gene expression and have key roles in health and disease.

COVID-19 susceptibility mechanism discovered using a newly created tool

Researchers have discovered a mechanism for COVID-19 susceptibility using a newly created tool. The tool, GASPACHO, captures dynamic changes in gene expression along the innate immune response, allowing researchers to identify genes and molecular pathways associated with disease risk that have previously been too complex to detect or interpret.

Scientists identify major mechanism behind the transition between chronic and acute bacterial infections

People with weakened immune systems are at constant risk of infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common environmental bacterium, can colonize different body parts, such as the lungs, leading to persistent, chronic infections that can last a lifetime – a common occurrence in people with cystic fibrosis.

Scientists show how pregnancy induces progressive changes in the maternal immune system

We have a good understanding of how a woman's external features can change during pregnancy, but scientists know surprisingly little about what biological changes occur internally.

New process for creating a “meta-cell overcomes the challenges of studying single-cell secrets

University of California, Irvine neuroscientists probing the gene changes behind Alzheimer's disease have developed a process of making a "meta-cell" that overcomes the challenges of studying a single cell.

Immune resilience promotes longevity and resistance to infections

Researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, working with collaborators in five countries, today revealed that the capacity to resist or recover from infections and other sources of inflammatory stress - called "immune resilience" - differs widely among individuals.
