Researchers have developed a DNA-based therapy that targets the PCSK9 gene to lower cholesterol naturally. Using polypurine ...

Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of ...

Ants have evolved an acute sense of smell, which requires each sensory neuron to choose one scent receptor out of hundreds.

Jonathan Henninger, an assistant professor of biological sciences, is part of a growing movement in the life sciences exploring how ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, can be harnessed to develop ...

Scientists discover a “runaway bulldozer” in ant DNA that silences smell genes, keeping chemical communication - and colony ...
