New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

Researchers have mapped the 3D organization of genetic material of key developmental stages of human retinal formation, using intricate models of a retina grown in the lab. The findings lay a ...

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 ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect where the aortic valve has two leaflets (cusps) instead of ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child’s first steps to recovery after ...

The thalamus serves as a central hub for relaying sensory and motor information, and its development is governed by a tightly regulated interplay of signalling pathways and gene regulatory networks.

The human brain's remarkably prolonged development is unique among mammals and is thought to contribute to our advanced learning abilities. Disruptions in this process may explain certain ...

The dissolution of protein coding genes in molecular biology / T. Fogle -- The differential concept of the gene: past and present / S. Schwartz -- Gene concepts and genetic concepts / F. Gifford -- ...

A duplicated gene evolved into a switch that determines sex in frogs, revealing how evolution can safely reshape critical ...

To generate successful gene therapies that are capable of delivering nucleic acids to specific cells and tissues, scientists must carefully design their products. They can employ either recombinant ...

Embryonic development doesn't occur by magic; it occurs by predetermined genetic steps leading to production of transcriptional molecules. This process is addressed by two Faculty of 1000-featured ...
