We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

How did you start thinking about this fundamental question at the heart of the discovery of microRNA, about how cells get the instructions to do what they do? It was well understood that proteins ...

Findings suggest that new genes can form by repurposing fragments of ancestral genes while incorporating entirely new coding regions (the protein-coding parts of the DNA). This innovative concept ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Less than a month after researchers unveiled that a “ticking DNA clock” is behind Huntington’s disease (HD), scientists have now identified an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that can slow down the ...

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...

A new research paper featured as the cover of Volume 17, Issue 12 of Aging-US was published on December 22, 2025, titled "A ...
