Key aspect of finely tuned regulation of gene expression revealed: Researc
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Even though they both develop in the same person and share the same genes, skin cells and brain cells are clearly distinct. They differ because each cell type expresses a unique set of genes that are distinct from those expressed by the other. This is made possible by cellular mechanisms tha

Study reveals key aspect of mechanism of gene expression regulation
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Despite the fact that they both develop in the same person and share the same genes, skin cells and brain cells are clearly distinct. They differ because each cell type expresses a different set of genes than the others. Cellular mechanisms that tightly regulate gene expression make this pos

Genetic malfunction of brain astrocytes triggers migraine: Study
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Migraine is one of the most disabling disorders, affecting one in seven people and causing a tremendous social and economic burden. Several findings suggest that migraine is a disease affecting a large part of the central nervous system and characterized by a global dysfunction in sensory in

Researchers discovered protein could be used to produce life-saving antifu
Updated : 3 years, 10 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 1 (ANI): Researchers have discovered a protein that is responsible for controlling cell growth in yeasts. Since humans and yeasts have remarkably similar cellular mechanisms, teasing out the differences presents drug developers with new targets for treatments.
