Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Elastic fibers have been linked to the pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse. This study used a rat model to examine the effect of mode of delivery on the gene expression of ...

The authors collected time-course RNA-seq data from four tree species in natural environments and analyzed seasonal patterns of gene expression. This fundamental study substantially advances our ...

There are times when discussions about the economy, personal finance, and business expenses feel just as overwhelming as managing your budget. It is hard to know what you think is happening, when it ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

Introduction: Neuronal activity-dependent gene expression is fundamental to a wide variety of brain functions. The field of neuronal activity-induced gene expression has advanced greatly due to ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...
