By sidestepping the need for costly interventions, a new method could potentially reveal gene regulatory programs, paving the way for targeted treatments.

Genomics and lab studies reveal numerous findings, including a key role for Reelin amid neuronal vulnerability, and for choline and antioxidants in sustaining cognition.

A new gene-silencing tool shows promise as a future therapy against prion diseases and paves the way for new approaches to treating disease.

With their “T-REX” method, DNA embedded in the polymer could be used for long-term storage of genomes or digital data such as photos and music.

By capturing short-lived RNA molecules, scientists can map relationships between genes and the regulatory elements that control them.

Single-cell gene expression patterns in the brain, and evidence from follow-up experiments, reveal many shared cellular and molecular similarities that could be targeted for potential treatment.

Researchers also found that a variant of the protein is not as protective against the bacteria and increases susceptibility to the disease.

With the new technique, MIT researchers hope to identify mutations that could be targeted with new cancer therapies.

A new study finds precancerous colon cells turn on a gene called SOX17, which helps them evade detection and develop into more advanced tumors.

MIT researchers can now track a cell’s RNA expression to investigate long-term processes like cancer progression or embryonic development.
