Researchers discover muscle disorder caused by key protein mutations
Updated : 1 year, 9 months ago IST
A new study discovered that the SMCHD1 protein controls how genes are digested, which influences the course of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). This finding about SMCHD1's role in gene regulation is significant because it opens new avenues for creating tailored therapeutic tech

Researchers shed light on how to restore nerve cells after injury
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Salk researchers identified a way to repair destroyed nerves in mice during peripheral neuropathy. They discovered that the protein Mitf aids in the activation of the repair function of the nervous system's specialist Schwann cells.

Researchers suggest Musashi-2 controls skeletal muscle composition
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Now, a team led by Assistant Professor Yasuro Furuichi from Tokyo Metropolitan University have emerged with a key part of the puzzle. In previous work, they found that Musashi-2 (Msi2), a protein originally discovered in nerve cells, was also expressed in skeletal muscle tissue.

Study reveals key aspect of mechanism of gene expression regulation
Updated : 3 years, 1 month 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

New research sheds light on how genes turn on and off
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Using CRISPR techniques, the researchers removed parts of the yeast transcription machinery to systematically examine their role in regulating genes. Yeast and humans have mostly the same molecular machinery to regulate their genes, so yeast provides an excellent model for understanding gene

Researchers find how 'junk' DNA can build different looking butterfly wing
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Ithaca (New York) [US], October 22 (ANI): According to new research, butterfly wing patterns follow a basic plan that is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species.
