Gene expression is controlled, in part, by the interactions between genes and regulatory elements located along the genome.
Recent advances in genomics, genome editing, and imaging technologies have revealed that neural activity can rapidly alter chromatin accessibility, ...
Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can also lead to cancer and other diseases. To better understand how chromatin ...
Genome-wide chromatin accessibility profiling reveals how myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) stem cells progressively lose normal stem-cell features and acquire myeloid progenitor-like characteristics.
As we age, our cells age with us. Although they remain active, they become less flexible, stop dividing and sometimes respond incorrectly to signals. The reason for this lies in the cell nuclei, ...
Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can also lead to cancer and other diseases. To better understand how chromatin ...
Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...
Peking University, Mar 16, 2026: An innovative platform developed by PKU researchers called "cf-EpiTracing" has proved capable of detecting and tracing diseases from as little as 50 μl of human plasma ...
