All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

In recent years, the complex ecosystem surrounding cancer cells, known as the tumor microenvironment (TME), has become a ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated ...

From rare diseases to chronic conditions, epigenetic editing unlocks new ways to control gene activity without altering the genetic code.

The developmental period is a critical window during which environmental cues interact with the genome to shape lifelong trajectories of health and disease.

Programmable CRISPR tools are turning stem cell biology into something closer to software engineering, shrinking ...

Researchers have developed a new "color-coded" genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes.

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