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 ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

Although HPVs do express some unspliced mRNAs (Figure 2), most HPV mRNAs are the products of constitutive and alternative splicing. Constitutive splicing is where every intron in the primary RNA ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

In recent years, the complex ecosystem surrounding cancer cells, known as the tumor microenvironment (TME), has become a ...

The mammalian elongation complex has remained a mystery – until researchers discovered how it controls its speed.

Citrullination, a transformative protein post-translational modification, is gaining recognition for its wide-ranging impact on cellular function and human disease. This process, driven by the enzyme ...

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 ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Centella asiatica, also known as gotu kola, is widely valued for its triterpenoid saponins, especially asiaticoside and ...
