Researchers find two protein pathways downregulated in postnatal heart
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Published today in Stem Cell Reports, researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School discovered two signaling pathways that are downregulated in human hearts after birth. These pathways, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT, lead to ma

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.

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.

Research reveals new method for tracking gene activity across tissues
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The method, described in the study published journal 'Nature Biotechnology,' records gene activity patterns and the presence of key proteins in cells across tissue samples while retaining information about the cells' precise location. This allows for the creation of complex, data-rich "maps"

Study reveals importance of key proteins for dynamic control of photosynt
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Plants are frequently grown for research purposes under stable lighting, which does not mimic natural conditions. Researchers revealed the importance of two key proteins for the dynamic control of photosynthesis in a series of experiments with changing light conditions, simulating the natur
