HD is a life-threatening neurodegenerative disease that typically arises due to the inheritance of a DNA triplet repeat (CAG) n in exon 1 of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. This CAG repeat encodes for a ...
Herein, three rules are used to predict whether a PTC-generating mutation is NMD-elicit or NMD-escape: PTC is more than 50-54bp upstream of the last-exon-exon junction. targeted gene is not intronless ...
The first Black graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, Oscar Thompson, studied zoology, as did trailblazing Longhorn ...
Scientists uncover an enzyme that boosts cancer cell metabolism to fuel growth. The enzyme, GUK1, supports metabolism in cancer cells to help tumors grow.
New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...
Liverpool researchers' discovery of collagen in fossilized bones could provide new insights into dinosaurs. For years, ...
XoZymes replaces traditional chemical production methods with an approach that integrates widely available feedstocks like ...
Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, like that seen in the body's nervous system.
In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...
