Learn about gene expression studies in progressive supranuclear palsy in Mayo Clinic's Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration Lab led by Nilufer Ertekin-Taner, M.D., Ph.D.

Taner, M.D., Ph.D., who leads Mayo Clinic's Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration Lab, studies complex genetic interactions in Alzheimer's disease.

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and treat diabetes, the drugs were later found to promote weight loss and improve ...

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...
