Higher vitamin A and D levels were associated with reduced DNA methylation at regulatory sites in the IRF5 gene, a pattern ...

Could a common vitamin help treat fatty liver disease? See how new research links niacin to a hidden control switch in liver ...

Men who are obese produce a certain molecule that gets passed to their children through their sperm, which can result in metabolic problems. — Handout There is already robust scientific evidence that ...

Following an acute heart attack, pathological remodeling processes occur in the heart. One consequence is so-called left ventricular systolic dysfunction, in which the pumping function of the left ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionary conserved small non-coding RNA molecules that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by base-pairing to mRNAs. Recent evidence shows that miRNA-mediated ...

ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aims to analyze the regulatory mechanism of miR-32-5p on the biological behavior of osteosarcoma (OS) cells and to elucidate the role and mechanism of miR-32-5p in OS.

Canadian biotech startup Afynia Laboratories, a spin-out from McMaster University in Ontario, has picked up $5 million in seed funding to commercialize a blood test for endometriosis — a medical ...

Over the past two decades, scientists discovered that the majority of melanic wing color variants are controlled by a single genomic region surrounding the protein-coding gene 'cortex'. It was assumed ...

Lepidopterans (butterflies and moths) exhibit a splendid diversity of wing color patterns, and many species display black and white, or dark and bright, wing color pattern variants associated with the ...

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun are awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering microRNA, a genetic switch that can regulate gene functions. This discovery offers potential treatments for cancer ...

The Nobel Prize for Medicine this year has been awarded to scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of microRNA — tiny molecules which play a crucial role in how genes function.
