Study imparts mechanistic understanding on early stages of human cancer

Scientists demonstrated that normal human fibroblast cells can be converted to specific cancer cells through factors that are identified in actual human patients.

Study unearths previously unknown role of CTCF, the transcription regulator

Researchers discovered evidence that CTCF governs chromatin accessibility, the mechanism of opening tightly spooled DNA facilitating gene expression.

Study details how immature innate lymphoid cells become effector cells

During the invasion of pathogens into the human body, a prompt response is needed.

Study identifies variants and genes linked to alcohol consumption

Scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai published the first of its kind research in the field of addiction genetics employing a multi-omics method to offer a huge list of causal candidate genes linked with alcohol consumption and alcohol use disorder (AUD).

Genomic surveillance is vital to achieve effective mitigation and containment of COVID-19

Although the development and increasingly widespread availability of effective and safe vaccines provides the greatest hope for the future recovery from the increasingly devastating COVID-19 pandemic, genomic surveillance is emerging as a vital necessity to achieve effective mitigation and containment.

Study identifies gene families responsible for simple leaf development

Recent research elucidates how simple leaves—one of the two basic forms of leaves—originate in a plant.

New technique can map out nearly all of the regulatory switches across a maize genome

Getting a full understanding of how genes are regulated is a major goal of scientists worldwide. Now, a Florida State University professor and his research partners have developed a technique that can map out nearly all of the likely regulatory switches across a genome.

Researchers identify virus-derived variations in human genomes

Three geneticists from RIKEN identified previously undetected snippets of genetic material from viruses that were hidden in human DNA.

Research provides a detailed 'proteogenomic' view of lung squamous cell carcinoma

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-associated death in the United States and worldwide. Patients with a subtype called lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have benefited from the development of new targeted medicines, but the search for effective new therapies for another subtype called lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has largely come up short.

Study reveals the role of transcription in shaping the genome

Developments in the field of microscopy allowed scientists to picture loops of DNA strands for the first time.

Toward an antiviral drug that works against all coronaviruses

Safe and effective vaccines offer hope for an end to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the possible emergence of vaccine-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants, as well as novel coronaviruses, make finding treatments that work against all coronaviruses as important as ever.

Study unravels gene expression control mechanism with immunity and cancer implications

Despite alternative polyadenylation (APA) affecting a larger part of human genes, the importance of APA was not well understood.

21 Jul 2021

New study could prevent T cell exhaustion in the immune system’s fight against cancer

Struggling against a tumor is not a sprint. It is a marathon. The race of cancer-fighting T cells is at times simply very long, and the T cells give up fighting. This phenomenon is referred to as T cell exhaustion by researchers.

Study discloses neuroprotective properties of aromatic turmerone and its derivatives

Scientists discovered that aromatic turmerone and its derivatives have a direct effect on the dopaminergic nerves.

Carrying out CRISPR/Cas9 in Space

In our latest interview, AZoLifeSciences spoke to a team of researchers about their latest research which involved carrying out CRISPR/Cas9 in Space.

Making memories necessitates a lot of DNA breakage

The urgency to remember a dangerous experience requires the brain to make a series of potentially dangerous moves: Neurons and other brain cells snap open their DNA in numerous locations--more than previously realized, according to a new study--to provide quick access to genetic instructions for the mechanisms of memory storage.
