X-Chromosome Inactivation: Breakthrough in Disease Research
May 6, 2025
X-chromosome inactivation is a fascinating biological process that plays a crucial role in gene expression, particularly in females who possess two X chromosomes.This phenomenon ensures that one of the X chromosomes is effectively silenced, thus balancing gene dosage between sexes and preventing an overload of gene activity.

X Chromosome Inactivation: Key to Treating Genetic Diseases
April 7, 2025

X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a crucial biological process that ensures females, who possess two X chromosomes, do not produce double the amount of X-linked gene products compared to males, who have only one.This phenomenon raises exciting implications for understanding and potentially treating genetic diseases, particularly those linked to mutations on the X chromosome like Fragile X Syndrome and Rett Syndrome.
