The nucleus of a cell is a bustling place. Inside, genes are constantly being read and turned into instructions for the cell. This process is called transcription. Scientists have figured out a lot about how this works at a chemical level. However, they are still puzzling over how transcription is c
The future of artificial intelligence was the hot topic at a recent gathering in a luxurious mansion overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. This wasn't your average Sunday afternoon. Around 100 guests, including AI researchers, philosophers, and tech enthusiasts, came together to ponder a bold idea: wh
Plants face a lot of challenges from their environment. They have to deal with droughts, salt, extreme temperatures, and even attacks from pests and diseases. To handle these issues, plants use special tools called transcription factors. These tools help plants respond to stress by turning specific
Zanthoxylum bungeanum, often called Sichuan pepper, is a plant with a lot of economic and medical value. It grows in many different places, so it faces a lot of environmental challenges. One way it handles these challenges is through something called bZIP transcription factors. These factors are lik
In the world of filmmaking, safety should always come first. Yet, sometimes, things go wrong.

Gastric cancer is a tricky foe. It's sneaky, and it's often hard to spot until it's too late. But what if scientists could find a way to predict who's at risk? That's where genetics and transcriptomics come in. Transcriptomics is like a detective's toolkit for studying genes. It looks at all the me
The way muscles react to intense exercise can be different for people with type 2 diabetes. This is what a recent study found out. It looked at how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) affects muscle cells at a very detailed level. The study focused on how these cells change in response to exerci
