primarily by activating
genes, a slow process that only gradually yields detectable physiological effects.

by p27.
As Saaïd Safieddine, CNRS Director of Research at the Institut Pasteur and co-senior author of the study with Prof. Christine Petit (head of the Genetics & physiology hearing unit at the Institut Pasteur), explains, «we have just shown that it is possible to partially correct a specific form of hereditary hearing loss accompanied

genes — to a multiprotein system that can quickly alter a cell's course.
DMD is a rare disease affecting

Additionally, we support and expand upon the hypothesis that X inactivation is

by selection against intrinsically unfit hybrids.
