Reprogramming technology, breaking the inherent limitations of cellular identity and turning somatic cells into pluripotent cells with more developmental potential, holds great promise for cell ...

The genome is intricately folded into chromatin compartments, topologically associating domains (TADs) and loops unique to each cell type. How this higher-order genome organization regulates cell fate ...

For more than 30 years, scientists have studied how the myogenic determination gene number 1 (MYOD) protein binds DNA to modify the gene expression of muscle stem cells. Similar to the instant kung fu ...

Researchers developed an OSK therapy that can partially reset epigenetic aging in optic neurons. Preclinical data ...

Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic editing platform that enables safe modification of multiple genes in primary ...

People with obesity and type 2 diabetes are at high risk of blood vessel damage. This risk depends not only on the genes a ...

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 ...

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 ...
