The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

If you look at a nerve cell, a muscle cell, or a skin cell under the microscope, they appear strikingly different. However, every cell in our body has the same DNA and has descended from a common ...

As cells mature and differentiate (right), they use a much more elaborate and cell-type specific ‘switchboard’ to control their gene expression, especially when compared to earlier, immature stages ...

New study by Chiba University, Japan in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, uncovers novel enhancer-promoter interactions that regulate gene expression during neuronal differentiation ...

A team of researchers unveils a novel, key aspect of enhancer-mediated regulation of gene expression and proposes a mechanism that explains the tight connection between gene enhancers and promoters.

Your skin cells are clearly different from your brain cells even though they both develop in the same person and carry the same genes. They are different because each cell type expresses a particular ...
