Child abuse may not just impact a person emotionally; it may also influence their genes. Scientists have found that maltreatment can actually affect the way genes are activated, which could have implications for a child's long-term development....
UCLA scientists have shown that two genes not previously known to be involved with the immune system play a crucial role in how progenitor stem cells are activated to fight infection.
While serotonin is often billed as a "feel-good brain chemical," Lowry notes that certain subsets of serotonin neurons can, when activated, prompt anxiety-like responses in animals. Notably, heightened expression of tph2, or tryptophan hydroxylase, in the cDRD has been associated with mood disor...
While hormones help you cope with whatever makes you anxious, they also raise your body temperature. So, when you’re anxious, your sweat glands are activated. Tip:Learn to manage your stress and anxiety and you’ll improve your sweaty hand problems. Are Sweaty Palms Genetic? If your hands ...
To date, only two clubroot resistance genes have been cloned, and their resistance has broken down as a result of newly evolved virulent Pb isolates. In this study, the newly identified resistance gene WTS confers resistance ...
A self-activated mechanism for nucleic acid polymerization catalyzed by DNA/RNA polymerases. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 138, 14592–14598 (2016). Analysis of crystal structures enabled identification of a common intramolecular hydrogen bond between the 3′-OH and β-phosphate of incoming dNTP or rNTP....
you should keep a record of what you heard, thought and studied and sort them out in time. As the saying goes, when three are walking together, I am sure to find teachers among them. It is also beneficial to learn from your...
Many genes are activated transcriptionally following attack by pathogens and these often contribute to the defence mechanisms which underlie disease resistance. The use of large-scale complementary DNA library constructions and genome-wide transcript profiles of plants exposed to biotic stress provide the ...
Although hundreds of genes are activated by transcriptional control in hypoxia, metabolic rate depression, as a consequence of reduced ATP level, causes inhibition of mRNA translation. In a multi-phase response to hypoxia, global protein synthesis is suppressed, mainly by phosphorylation of eIF2-...
How are RNA nucleotides activated prior to RNA synthesis? How does the transcription of DNA to RNA work? How did RNA and DNA end up together in living things? How does RNA polymerase synthesize RNA? How does RNA decompose in the cell?
