ETH researchers have developed a new gene switch that can be activated using a commercially available nitroglycerine patch applied to the skin.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A new gene switch activated by a nitroglycerine skin patch has been developed to aid in treating diabetes. This switch uses modified human cells that convert ...

In other words, these regulatory mechanisms control gene expression. But why is this control necessary? To better understand the answer to this question, consider the example of a skin cell and a ...

The skin serves as a barrier that restricts the penetration ... a marked upregulation in the expression of genes involved in hair cycle regulation and skin homeostasis. A skin model was also ...
