It often involves the introduction of genetic material into a person’s cells to replace a defective or missing gene. Although early attempts at gene therapy have been effective in achieving the ...

Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

A team at Johns Hopkins Medicine has focused their work on myelin development using oligodendrocytes to help study conditions like MS.

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Understanding how a potential drug is metabolised in the liver is a critical first step in early-stage drug development - but ...

Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells ...

Mice and newts were applied to the one-step Cre-loxP organism creation technology by TAx9. In this study, the researchers succeeded in synthesizing a Cre-loxP integrated vector by placing a short DNA ...
