Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Switches' in our DNA that affect gene activity in cells could be crucial to understanding and possibly treating Alzheimer's ...

Scientists have developed a new transgene control system that shows early promise for treating rare brain disorder Rett syndrome. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that the microRNA system - ...

Edinburgh, UK, 16th December 2024 / Sciad Communications / Concinnity Genetics, an Edinburgh-based gene control company, is thrilled to announce the closure of its oversubscribed £3m seed funding ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

urning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when it's ...

A study published in Scientific Reports explores a novel combination of CRISPR‑based gene drives to control invasive gray squirrel – Sciurus carolinensis – in the UK. Biodiversity refers to the extent ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

For the first time, scientists have identified two clusters of genes directly linked to human intelligence. Called M1 and M3, these so-called 'gene networks' appear to determine how smart a person is ...

To understand how cells work, biologists like to take them apart. By removing genes from cells in diverse combinations, researchers have now uncovered how different genes work together to keep cells ...
