The authors conclude that mRNA vaccines “induce a gene-altering [mode of action], reprogramming host expression programs” that go far beyond inflammatory responses to Spike protein. Effects include ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms toxic tangles in Alzheimer's disease. The findings, ...

A newly released publication examines how deuterium concentration may influence gene activity in lung cancer cells. The study explores how shifts in this ...
