SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Researchers have developed a novel approach to detect ALS and predict survival by measuring genetic activity in blood cells, a study found.

A shared molecular signature of Alzheimer’s appears across populations once studied in isolation. Alzheimer's disease (AD) ...
