What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...

A newly published scientific paper titled "Gene Expression Patterns in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells in Response to Changes in ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

Energy deficiencies and inflammation may cause warming-related mortality in Pacific cod larvae.     A new study used gene ...

Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of ...

The first study on deuterium-depleted water (DDW) concluded that a higher D/H ratio inside cells can trigger cell division. This was supported by lab experiments showing that lowering deuterium levels ...
