Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...
