In a recent study published in the journal Nature, scientists used mouse models to test whether in vivo gene silencing is sustained after transient delivery and expression of engineered ...
Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...
Revolutions in gene therapy are rapidly changing the landscape of modern medicine. Revolutions in gene therapy are rapidly changing the landscape of modern medicine, forcing society and science alike ...
The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
A novel discovery in the field of pancreatic cancer treatment has been unveiled, revealing the epigenetic silencing of BEND4 as a potential synthetic lethal marker for enhancing the efficacy of ATM ...
The paradoxical involvement of RNA-mediated gene silencing in the maintenance of some DNA silencing is bridged in Arabidopsis by an RNA polymerase that acts as a liaison between both pathways, ...
A landmark Huntington's trial slows disease progression by 75%, signalling how RNA- and CRISPR-based tools redefine treatment for rare genetic disorders. Significant advancements in gene silencing and ...
A "gene silencer" (technically known as small interfering RNA, or siRNA), locally delivered by nanoparticles embedded in an injectable gel produced through 3D printing, can switch off the defective ...
