Further, the new paper shows that injected miRNAs knock down expression of specific genes in zygotes. (the-scientist.com)
As noted earlier, senolytic drugs are only able to effectively kill senescent cells while sparing normal cells because senescent cells are much more reliant than healthy cells on the activity or expression of specific genes involved in cell survival. (sens.org)
An international team led by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has developed a new technique for identifying gene enhancers — sequences of DNA that act to amplify the expression of a specific gene — in the genomes of humans and other mammals.
