CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Humans share at least 97 percent of their genes with chimpanzees, but, as a new study of transcription factors makes clear, what you have in your genome may be less important than ...

New research shows that childhood environments shape lifelong memory through a single molecular switch that controls learning-related gene activity.

Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that helps explain why growing up in a stimulating environment enhances ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Bladder cancer is a rare form of cancer, with a relatively high recovery rate. Recurrence is still an issue; however, with around half of patients affected. Prognostic tests can help identify patients ...

Transcription Factors (TFs) are pivotal regulators of gene expression and have been implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic ...

Transcription factors are proteins that control gene expression in a cell. They are so powerful that they can be used to reprogram a cell into an entirely new type of cell, or even "rewind" it back ...

Tanshinones, bioactive compounds in Salvia miltiorrhiza (Chinese sage), hold significant therapeutic value, particularly in ...

Sequence-specific, DNA-binding TFs are the major regulators of cell identity and cell physiology. As examples, expression of select TFs can revert differentiated cells back to a pluripotent state and ...
