Why do animals behave differently, and what are the consequences of this? A research team from the Collaborative Research Center NC³ at Bielefeld University and the University of Münster now provides ...

Warren Buffett is famous for many reasons, including his simple and timeless wisdom, and this quote is no exception. Often attributed to Buffett and quoted in Tom Rath’s Strengths-Based Leadership, ...

A newly discovered biological signal in the blood could help health care teams and researchers better understand how children respond to brain injuries at the cellular level, according to our research ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Nutritional epigenetics examines how maternal diet influences fetal gene expression through mechanisms such as DNA methylation, thereby shaping lifelong risks of metabolic, neurodevelopmental, and ...

Epigenome editing has undergone something of a renaissance in recent years, but scientists have been using basic gene-modulation tools for much longer. Two of the earliest were transcriptional ...

Scientists have found a way to manipulate gene expression using the gene editing tool CRISPR, and they have shown that it is possible to control one aspect of the inflammatory response this way. This ...

Chemicals used in different applications induce genetic and epigenetic aberrations implicated in various diseases, including cancer. Researchers from Japan have developed a cell-based reporter assay ...

Why do identical twins sometimes experience different health outcomes as they age? How is it that a pregnant woman’s nutrition can influence her unborn child’s future risk of developing certain ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way that cells control their genes — and it may rewrite our understanding of "epigenetics." Epigenetics is a form of DNA modification that doesn't affect the DNA ...

Spoiler: there isn’t just one network definition. Learn everything you need to assess various network types, topologies, and architectures. The simple network definition: a system that links other ...
