While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Lieber Institute for Brain Development have identified ...

A new study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals that the biological underpinnings of autism and ADHD may transcend traditional diagnostic boundaries. While there is increasing appreciation that ...

Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

Temporary alterations in genes involved in oxygen transport were identified during cervical artery dissections, offering ...

Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health have discovered the evolutionary rhythm of gene expression, showing that changes happen at strikingly varied rates. In the study, published in Molecular ...

Ligand-driven enhancer activation selectively boosts target gene expression while indirectly repressing neighboring non-target genes, revealing dynamic and competitive regulation during early ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

In corn snakes, certain lineages have red, yellow or pink colours, and their dorsal spots can merge or form stripes. In many animals, skin colouration and its patterns play a crucial role in ...
