Like many neurological diseases, there's a lot we don't understand about fragile X syndrome. But, after studying the disorder for several years, Lynne Maquat's lab knew two important things: the enzyme AKT, which plays a key role in cell growth and survival, and the quality control pathway known as NMD (nonsense-mediated mRNA decay), are both in overdrive in fragile X.

Limiting meals to an eight-hour window each day regulates the circadian rhythm of multiple organs in mice, potentially staving off chronic disease

Researchers assessed the impact of SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein on the bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins.

Research shows targeting a gene in pancreatic beta cells could disrupt the immune system from destroying those cells and causing type 1 diabetes.

A recent publication from researchers at the University of Kentucky explains the importance of identifying and understanding how differences between tissues and cells alter gene expression without changing the underlying genetic code.

The development of an embryo is a well-orchestrated string of processes, ensuring correct formation and positioning of vital organs of the growing organism.

The advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized the fields of medicine and biology by providing the ability to study the inner workings of thousands of cells at one go.

A new machine learning method to model gene expression levels might improve the identification of genes that cause human diseases, according to a new study by Penn State College of Medicine researchers.

Millions of children in low- and middle-income nations suffer from environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine that is the second leading cause of death in children under five years old.

A recent study published in Molecular Cell reviewed the control of gene expression by N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a modified nucleotide in the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA).
