Genes may affect level of harmful bacterial toxins in the bloodstream: Res
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Lipopolysaccharide, a virulence factor produced by bacteria, is a toxin that can cause systemic inflammation via circulation. In a recently completed study, genetic markers were discovered that are associated with a heightened lipopolysaccharide level in the blood.

Do you know time restricted eating affects gene expression in areas of bod
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Time-restricted eating has been shown in studies to have health benefits, including an increase in life span, making practises like intermittent fasting a hot topic in the wellness industry. However, how it affects the body at the molecular level and how those changes interact across multipl

Researchers unravel the complexity of vitamin B12 diseases
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers unravel the genetic complexity of two rare inherited vitamin B12 conditions identifying them as hybrid syndromes that are both a vitamin B12 disorder and a disease of ribosomes, the protein-building machinery of the cell.

Scars can be repaired by using transplanted hair follicles
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Skin scars began to behave more like uninjured skin after being treated with hair follicle transplants, according to a new study. Scarred skin grew new cells and blood vessels, remodelled collagen to restore healthy patterns, and even expressed genes found in healthy, unscarred skin.

'Jumping genes' help fungus kill salamanders: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A fungus that infects salamanders contains multiple copies of the same "jumping genes", scientists have discovered. Jumping genes, called transposons, can "copy and paste" themselves and impact the organism.

Researchers finds how time restricted eating affects gene expression in ar
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Scientists have demonstrated how time-restricted eating influences gene expression in more than 22 different areas of the body and brain. Gene expression is the process by which genes are activated and respond to their surroundings by producing proteins.

Scientists discover new role of small RNAs in Salmonella infections
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Salmonella is a food-borne pathogen that infects millions of people each year. These bacteria rely on a complex network of genes and gene products to sense environmental conditions. Researchers investigated the role of small RNAs in helping Salmonella express their virulence genes in a new p

Self-assembling proteins can store cellular 'memories': Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
As cells perform their everyday functions, they turn on a variety of genes and cellular pathways. MIT engineers have now coaxed cells to inscribe the history of these events in a long protein chain that can be imaged using a light microscope.
