A conserved signaling axis linking Drosophila adipose tissue to nephrocyte function reveals how obesity can drive kidney dysfunction and points to new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

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

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

The bean-shaped organelles are now being recognized for their part in immune signaling, stress responses, and neural ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...
