New research uncovers why certain individuals with disease-causing genes remain symptom-free. Researchers at Columbia ...

often resulting in cell death. In contrast, synthetic versions of siRNAs are effective in silencing genes. Short interfering RNAs occur naturally in cells and may serve to silence transposable ...

Gene silencing leaves the original DNA alone, but targets the instructions that it sends out into the cell. The downside is you need to keep taking the treatment for the therapy to work.

Doctors say gene-silencing is making the "previously untreatable ... But our DNA is locked away inside a cell's nucleus and kept apart from a cell's protein-making factories.

Molecular biologists decode the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene ...

A new mouse study by researchers at the University of California (UC), San Diego, School of Medicine reveals that an enzyme ...
