A team of scientists from MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) has discovered a previously unknown mechanism that controls the way the “ON” and “off” gene switching genes during embryonic development. Published today in the developmental cell, their study sheds light on how various types of cells are produced in developing embryos. The research was […]

ETH researchers have developed a new gene switch that can be activated using nitroglycerin -available nitroglycerin slices applied to the skin. One day, scientists want to use this type of switches to trigger cell therapy for various metabolic diseases. The body regulates its metabolism precisely and constantly, with specialized cells in the pancreas constantly monitor, […]
