Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

The researchers used a genetic tool called CRISPRi that can mute DNA sections without permanently cutting them. The tool was ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...

More and more children—at increasingly younger ages—are being immersed in neighborhood violence, even if they don’t make the ...

Alex Marson of Gladstone and his collaborators at Stanford University developed a genomic mapping technique that helps close ...

A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in ...

Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St.

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...
