... colds. But in reality, it's not the virus itself but HRV's ability to manipulate your genes that is the true cause of some of the most annoying cold symptoms. For the first time, researchers have ...

... forward in this area, researchers have recently demonstrated a new technique to control gene expression in two dimensions over time, which has not previously been demonstrated. And they have done so ...

... a cancer cell. Norman Greenberg, Ph.D., and colleagues conducted a pair of experiments by manipulating gene expression directly in the epithelial compartment of the mouse prostate gland to better ...

... , opening the door to a number of applications including data storage and as a tool for manipulating genes for genetic engineering. A research team from the biology and the mathematics departments of ...

... observed following doxorubicin treatment, Top2A levels were dramatically reduced -- without manipulating gene expression with shRNAs. Along with the finding that Top1 knockdown hypersensitized ...

... , Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the Bennett laboratory, devised a method that let researchers manipulate gene expression in a specific section of adult muscle, rather than in the whole animal. "This ...

... hypoxia-resistant cells more vulnerable to low oxygen levels. In new experiments, Crowder's team manipulated genes in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans to alter the organism's sensitivity to a low- ...

... CVB interacts with its receptor to cause pancreatitis and myocarditis in a special breed of mice. By manipulating genes in the pancreas and heart that generate CAR in those organs, Bergelson's team ...

... independently. In his research, Bogdanove was examining how Xanthomonas uses TAL effectors to manipulate gene function in plants in ways that benefit the pathogen. Bogdanove was specifically ...
