A new review article published in Genes & Diseases explores the intricate relationship between non-coding RNAs and oxidative stress in cancer progression shedding new light on the mechanisms that ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Cancer is most treatable in its early stages, so finding innovative and non-invasive methods to diagnose cancer early on is crucial for fighting the disease. Liquid biopsies, which require just a ...

Profiling noncoding repetitive RNA sequences improves the sensitivity of liquid biopsy diagnostic tests for early stage cancers. As cancer is most treatable in its early stages, developing diagnostic ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

Cells are regularly faced with environmental stresses that may damage or destroy them. To survive, they quickly adjust their ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in ...

A team of neuroscience researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina reports in Science the discovery of a new genetic regulatory mechanism involved in behavioral adaptations to emotional ...

Sunlight is vital for human health as it helps the body produce essential nutrients, such as vitamin D. However, too much sun ...
