The finding suggest that aging is not simply the result of one specific gene or pathway acting on its own, but rather combinations of genes or pathways interacting with each other, which may explain why no single specific gene that extends longevity in humans has been found.
Mutations in the β-globin gene, the essential component of adult hemoglobin (HbA; α2β2), results in either a production of aberrant sickle hemoglobin leading to sickle cell disease or an insufficie...
The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system has been widely used in the basic biomedical research. However, the preclinical safety of the CRISPR/Cas9 system lacks a comprehensive assessment. Previous studies ...
In late October 2019, a Harvard University-led team have elaborated the molecular and neural mechanisms of pheromone-related learning behaviors in C. elegans. A pheromone is known as a secreted or exc...
