Dialing up gene expression Synthetic gene circuits are engineered to include not only the gene of interest, but also a promoter region. At this site, transcription factors and other regulators can ...
A team linked to Harvard Medical School has dosed the first patient in a clinical trial designed to reverse cellular aging in the human eye. The study, called ER-100, uses a gene therapy vector to ...
Nearly 90 years after Ugo Cerletti and Lucio Bini introduced electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), brain stimulation therapies ...
Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic editing platform that enables safe modification of multiple genes in primary ...

Gram-stained section of a macrophage with ingested S epidermidis bacteria, seen as purple granules within its cytoplasm. In this stain, the nucleus appears pale, with a reddish nucleolus. It is ...
Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...
For more than 30 years, scientists have studied how the myogenic determination gene number 1 (MYOD) protein binds DNA to modify the gene expression of muscle stem cells. Similar to the instant kung fu ...
