Scientists identify a non-coding gene that directly controls how big cells grow
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.
A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...
