Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated causes of disease in “coding” genes—those […]
New research from Macquarie University has used strong evidence from Mongolia to show how a combination of higher prices, graphic health warnings and less prominent supermarket placement can work to reduce the consumption of unhealthy […]
Fetal development is a critical stage with effects that can last throughout life. Yet, identifying the effects of maternal psychological stress on the fetus has been difficult, mainly because stressful events often produce psychological and […]
One night, Tomás realized something was seriously wrong. He went for a stroll, along the same paths near his village that he had walked along countless times with his friends, their cheerful voices echoing in […]
For centuries, mental illness and physical disease have been viewed as two distinct categories, each with its own field of study, its own doctors, and its own menu of treatments. New University of Colorado Boulder […]
As millions of women enter menopause each year, gaps in clinician education continue to limit access to effective care. A new study evaluating a menopause-focused educational program for primary care clinicians has found that targeted, […]
The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, has historically been opaque. Geneticist and Crick group leader Greg Findlay has pioneered a new […]
The biological connection between a pregnant woman and her developing baby has been mapped in unprecedented detail by UC San Francisco scientists, revealing new cell types and insights into conditions such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, […]
Organoids are miniature, simplified versions of an organ. Over the past two decades, scientists have developed them for the gut, lung, liver, mammary gland, brain, and more. Now, researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) […]
An Australian-led international research collaboration has delivered a promising breakthrough in the quest to better understand and treat childhood dementia. Recently published in the journal Nature Communications, the study uncovered a fundamental mechanism underlying Sanfilippo […]
