Genetic ancestry is much more complicated than how people report their race and ethnicity. New research, using data from the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) “All of Us” Research Program, finds that people who identify […]
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects more than a tenth of Americans aged 65 and older. The disease has proven difficult to develop new treatments for, and available treatment options […]
Whether you are a competitive athlete or an older adult, strong bones are essential—not only for movement, but also for overall health. Now, a new study has shed new light on how our bones are […]
Skoltech researchers have enlisted generative artificial intelligence to complete the missing data on the distances between pairs of genes in DNA. This enables figuring out the 3D architecture of DNA molecules, which is in turn […]
UC Irvine researchers conducted a study to better understand the molecular basis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disorder in which patients lose the ability to move, becoming weak and wheelchair bound before dying […]
According to the American Cancer Society, survivors of childhood cancer can face health problems later in their adult life. Many boys who undergo cancer treatment before puberty can lose the ability to produce sperm as […]
Imagine not feeling any pain when you stub your toe—or, conversely, experiencing constant burning pain or itching without an obvious cause. For some people, this is reality, caused by mutations in a single protein: the […]
A study in Nature Aging from researchers at the UC Davis School of Medicine has identified specific microRNAs—non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression within cells—that likely contribute to bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder […]
The mammalian liver has an extraordinary regenerative capacity, capable of fully restoring its mass and function after injury or partial resection. A study led by researchers at the University of Barcelona has identified the DNA […]
Scientists at the San Raffaele Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy (SR-Tiget), Milan, have found that gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 in combination with AAV6 vectors can trigger inflammatory and senescence-like responses in blood stem cells, compromising […]
