Space Travel Shifts White Blood Cell Expression in Transcriptomic Study
Researchers saw immune-related gene expression changes in astronauts on the International Space Station, along with shifts to baseline in the weeks after their return to Earth.
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Risk Genes Identified, Characterized
Using association, regulatory, and functional analyses coupled with cell line experiments, researchers characterized new nasopharyngeal cancer risk genes.
Human-Specific Features Found With CRISPR Screening on Stem Cells
With loss-of-function screens on human, chimp, and orangutan stem cells, researchers narrowed in on species-specific genetic dependencies involving dozens of genes.
Endometriosis Linked to Bacterial Infection, Suggesting Treatment With Antibiotics
Researchers found that infection with Fusobacterium, which can be treated with antibiotics, leads to gene expression and cellular changes involved in the onset of endometriosis.
