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.

Fatty liver disease susceptibility: study identifies interaction between estrogen receptor and genetic variant in women

Researchers pursued evidence of whether the interaction between the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 p.I148M variant and the female sex at the genetic and molecular level explains why premenopausal women remain protected against fatty liver disease, while a rapidly progressive disease ensues in some peri- and postmenopausal women.

Researchers develop new way to boost immune cells' ability to fight TB

Tuberculosis is old-;ancient even. The infectious bacterial disease that plagued Old Testament Israelites and took down pharaohs was eventually stunted by vaccinations, antibiotics, and public health measures like isolation, but it hasn't been cured yet.

Supercharged tomatoes: Scientists engineer fruits packed with amino acids and flavonoids

Spanish researchers use cisgenic engineering to create nutrient-packed tomatoes with higher levels of flavonoids and branched-chain amino acids, providing potential benefits for those on plant-based diets. The study shows promise for enhancing nutritional content in other crops, addressing malnutrition and health deficiencies.

Study details the key role played by neutrophils in ensuring survival of brain cancers

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has for the first time exhaustively analyzed immune cells known as neutrophils that reside in brain tumors, including gliomas, which develop in the brain itself, and cancers that spread there from the lung, breast and skin.

Three new projects launched to map neuronal connections in the mouse and macaque brains

A complete map of all the connections in an entire mammalian brain may be in sight. Allen Institute researchers have just launched three new projects to construct large, detailed maps of neuronal connections in sections of the mouse and macaque brains, with an eye toward creating full wiring diagrams of these animals' brains in the future.

Researchers discover how Zika virus persists in the placenta

Before SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic, there was the Zika virus epidemic, lasting from 2015 to 2016. The Zika virus can cause serious birth defects and abnormalities.

How are SARS-CoV-2 variants outsmarting our immune system and vaccines?

Researchers use multiomics analysis to understand how SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Alpha, Delta, and Omicron, modulate the host's cellular responses and adapt to evade human immunity. The study highlights the potential for targeted therapies against both adaptive and innate immune responses.
