RNA-Seq – News and Features

New research has provided insights into the lasting effects of chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on the immune system.

A new artificial intelligence tool that can help to select the most suitable treatment for cancer patients has been developed by researchers at The Australian National University.

Columbia researchers have found that Lgr5+ cells descend from the gut’s true stem cells. This case of mistaken identity may explain why regenerative medicine has not lived up to its promise.

Activation of an ancient biological stress response has been linked to a proliferative block in the human hair follicle. Researchers suggest that targeting this stress response could be used to help maintain hair follicles and treat hair loss.

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have shed valuable light on the nuanced functions and intricate regulatory methods of RNA editing, a critical mechanism underlying brain development and disease.

Opsins are responsible for many biological functions, like regulating circadian rhythms. Research into the evolution of nonvisual opsins in frogs has found that most modern species examined retained a shocking number of these proteins.

Researchers from the Department of Bioengineering (BE), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have designed a novel 3D hydrogel culture system that mimics the mammalian lung environment.

In this article, we explore how mass spectrometry imaging technology is evolving into a high-resolution spatial biology toolset to transform drug discovery and development.

A recent study investigated whether a transglutaminase 2 inhibitor has potential as a drug to treat celiac disease. Previous tissue studies have shown that the ZED1227 transglutaminase 2 inhibitor prevents gluten-induced intestinal damage.

Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory reveal that hematopoietic stem cells age differently in genetically identical mice, offering new pathways for interventions to preserve health with aging.
