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.

Why are colon cancer rates in young people rising?

In a recent perspective article published in the journal Science, researchers at the Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Center of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute emphasized that a better understanding of the etiology of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is crucial to managing its increasing incidence worldwide

Cuproptosis-associated ferroptosis genes linked with immune infiltration in atherosclerosis

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. In this study, the authors identify cuproptosis-associated ferroptosis genes in the atherosclerosis microarray of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and explored hub gene-mediated immune infiltration in atherosclerosis.

Researchers uncover new clue as to how "whole genome doubling" drives cancer

A single cell contains 2-3 meters of DNA, meaning that the only way to store it is to package it into tight coils.

Vitamin A-rich diet may reduce risk of developing asparaginase-associated pancreatitis in ALL patients

Consuming a diet rich in vitamin A or its analogs may help prevent children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) reduce their risk of developing painful pancreas inflammation during chemotherapy treatment.

A convergent coexpression approach identifies novel genes associated with autism

The current study analyzes transcriptional convergence across many autism risk genes.

14 Mar 2023

Researchers identify the mSWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex as a host-directed drug target for SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers showed that mammalian SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (mSWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes represent a potential class of host-directed broad-acting SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic targets.

Active disease process in early CTE differs substantially from late-stage disease

Millions of people, including athletes who play contact sports, members of the military and victims of domestic violence, are exposed to repetitive head impacts (RHI), which is the primary risk factor for developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

13 Mar 2023

New discoveries made regarding autism onset in mouse models

Although autism is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, the multiple factors behind its onset are still not fully understood.

10 Mar 2023

New class of oral drugs can inhibit a diverse range of pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 strains

The constant evolution of new COVID-19 variants makes it critical for clinicians to have multiple therapies in their arsenal for treating drug-resistant infections.

Scientists design a model to track hippocampal synaptic plasticity

Scientific evidence shows how the cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is caused by the buildup of amyloid beta proteins, which promote synaptic malfunction.

Nasal administration of a fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody modulates T cell inflammatory responses in COVID-19

Researchers assessed the impact of an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody called Foralumab in COVID-19 treatment.

9 Mar 2023

Pilot trial tests nasal monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID-19

A pilot trial by investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, tested the nasal administration of the drug Foralumab, an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody.

Tumors' response to hormone therapy may be a biomarker for personalization of breast radiotherapy

How estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer responds to hormone therapy may hold keys to understanding how it will respond to radiation therapy, and an experimental drug that increases the effectiveness of hormone therapy also overcomes radiation resistance in breast cancer, a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.
