Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells ...

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 ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Researchers at the John Innes Center and the Earlham Institute are pioneering powerful single-cell visualization techniques ...

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 ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

The NCCN guidelines now include MammaPrint for identifying HR+/HER2- early-stage breast cancer patients who may benefit from ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Ancient DNA has been pulled from a permafrost-preserved woolly mammoth found in Siberia, and scientists are thrilled. They ...
