A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

For billions of years, bacteria evolved on their own terms. Now, scientists can rewrite DNA, build genetic circuits, and reprogram living cells to follow human instructions. These microbes can detect ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD A longitudinal study shows that puberty may reprogram children’s epigenetic profiles in ways that ...

In human cells, DNA carries chemical or "epigenetic" marks that decide how genes will be used in different tissues. Yet in a ...

KLF5 appears to fuel pancreatic cancer metastasis by reprogramming epigenetic controls, offering a potential new therapeutic target.

Researchers engineered immune cells that protect insulin-producing cell transplants, bringing scientists closer to a cure for ...

In our cells, our DNA carries chemical or 'epigenetic' marks that decide how genes will be used in different tissues. Yet in the group of specialised ...

Below, we’ve brought together the month’s themes in our new Trends Outside the Headlines, trends & insights report, collecting together and assessing the signals that matter for life sciences ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...

Polyploid plants carry multiple ancestral genomes within a single nucleus, a condition that can boost adaptability but also trigger internal genetic conflict.

Maternal immune activation reprograms the fetal brain, increasing alcohol-seeking behavior after adolescent exposure. Prenatal antioxidants act as a key preventive.
