The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

Researchers at the Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) have developed a new virtual tool that will allow scientists to study the function of genes more ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have discovered that a gene long known for shaping the skin's ...
