A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called "engrams". Engrams are thought to hold the ...

Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a devastating soil-borne pathogen that severely threatens global ...

Researchers have discovered that a gene called CHRNA3 plays a key role in determining alcohol sensitivity, helping explain why some people tolerate alcohol better than others.

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) report that the gene, CHRNA3, acts as a key regulator of alcohol sensitivity. Published in ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the ...

Alzheimer’s disease not only damages memory but also distorts the brain’s internal clock, disrupting the daily rhythms of hundreds of genes tied to brain health.

MIT engineers designed a control mechanism, known as DIAL, that allows them to establish a desired protein level, or set point, for any synthetic gene circuit.
