The immune system regulates homeostasis by attacking foreign bacteria, viruses, and other infections. Different immune cells are generated for specific functions to fight off disease and to maintain ...

Scientists have generated a comprehensive map of the gene targets regulated by the transcription factors HNF4A and HNF1A in human pancreatic beta cells and liver cells. Published in the journal Nature ...

Conventional studies on stem cell fates are primarily focused on transcription factors, with the limited consideration for 3D ...

Each year, six Nobel Prizes are awarded in the fields of physiology or medicine, physics, chemistry, economics, literature ...

Some things just go together like “rock and roll” and “fish and chips” or, in molecular biology, “transcription factors” and the “nearby genes they regulate.” The standard, simplified story goes like ...

For the first time, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a genome-scale way to map the regulatory role of transcription factors ...

The morning glory transcription factor EPH1 binds in the vicinity of genes associated with programmed cell death after a certain time after flowering and activates the expression of these genes. The ...
