A gene is a unit of heredity in a living organism. It normally resides on a stretch of DNA that codes for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. All living things depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains.

Key networks controlling pluripotency and apoptosis during development revealed

During the early stages of human embryonic development, a small collection of cells called human embryonic stem cells co-ordinates growth and differentiation finally giving rise to highly specialized human tissues.

Study employs engineered base editors for controllable genome editing

According to a recent study, targeted mutations to the genome can be instituted by splitting specific mutator enzymes and later inducing them to reconstitute.

Researchers develop new approach to selectively turn on gene therapies in target cells

Researchers at MIT and Harvard University have designed a way to selectively turn on gene therapies in target cells, including human cells. Their technology can detect specific messenger RNA sequences in cells, and that detection then triggers production of a specific protein from a transgene, or artificial gene.

Intussusceptive angiogenesis contributes to growth of daughter tumors in malignant melanoma

For the first time, researchers at the University of Gothenburg have shown that metastases in patients with malignant melanoma gain access to the circulatory system not only through the outgrowth of new blood vessel branches, but also an alternative process in which one blood vessel divide into two parallel vessels bylongitudinal splitting.
