How new loops in DNA packaging help us make diverse antibodies: A study ties together chromatin loops and V(D)J recombination to explain how the immune system achieves antibody diversity
Diversity is good, especially when it comes to antibodies. It’s long been known that a gene assembly process called V(D)J
Why intense light can protect cardiovascular health: The light boosts a critical gene that strengthens blood vessels
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have found that intense light amplifies a specific gene that bolsters
Study gives insight into sun-induced DNA damage and cell repair: Breakthrough study fills a ‘missing gap’
A team led by a Baylor University researcher has published a breakthrough article that provides a better understanding of the
Shedding light on rhodopsin dynamics in the retina
Photoreceptor cells in our eyes can adjust to both weak and strong light levels, but we still don’t know exactly
Dead zones in circadian clocks
Most organisms have circadian clocks. In mammals, the circadian pacemaker is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain.
New ‘jumping’ superbug gene discovered, resistant to last-resort antibiotic
While sifting through the bacterial genome of salmonella, Cornell University food scientists discovered mcr-9, a new stealthy, jumping gene so
‘Seeing the light’ behind radiation therapy: UBC research measures an accurate and precise dose of radiation
Delivering just the right dose of radiation for cancer patients is a delicate balance in their treatment regime. However, in
Natural gene therapy for intractable skin disease discovered
Pathogenic gene mutations causing a type of intractable skin disease can be eliminated from some parts of patients’ skin as
Extinguishing fear memories relies on an unusual change to DNA
Researchers at The University of Queensland have discovered a DNA modification that enhances our ability to extinguish fear. The findings,
