What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...
Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are ...
Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...
Guillaume Andrey, UNIGE I've been interested in the genetic mechanisms of development since the beginning of my career.
A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases.
