CGTE researchers Dr. Stelios Andreadis, center director, and Dr. Kirk Personius are lead co-authors of a paper in the October 24th edition of Nature Communications. This study describes experiments ...

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 ...

The first study on deuterium-depleted water (DDW) concluded that a higher D/H ratio inside cells can trigger cell division. This was supported by lab experiments showing that lowering deuterium levels ...

A newly published scientific paper titled "Gene Expression Patterns in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells in Response to Changes in ...

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 ...

Transcription factors are proteins that control gene expression in a cell. They are so powerful that they can be used to reprogram a cell into an entirely new type of cell, or even "rewind" it back ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Project Leader: Victor Thannickal, M.D. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is chronic, progressive lung disorder with high mortality, and limited therapeutic options. Studies performed during Cycle I ...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a multifaceted disorder that impacts approximately 20–25% of the global population. This syndrome encompasses a range of conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes ...

Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...
