A team of researchers at the Broad Institute, led by gene-editing pioneer David Liu, has developed a new genome-editing strategy that could potentially lead to a one-time treatment for multiple unrelated genetic diseases.This article was […]
A Yale research team has created a new imaging technique that reveals the hidden connections between aging, disease, and genetic activity in human cells.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a high heritability, in which the genetic component consists of thousands of genetic variants. Most variants only slightly increase the likelihood of receiving the diagnosis. Now an international study […]
In a surprising discovery, a “sticky molecule” that occurs naturally in our blood vessels could be both a culprit behind blood clots and organ failure during COVID and long COVID and the key to new […]
University of Kentucky researchers have developed a new experimental model that could point the way toward more effective Alzheimer’s disease treatments by targeting one of the brain’s most important genes for risk and resilience.This article […]
A new discovery from the lab of YouYang Zhao, Ph.D., from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, opens promising new directions for treatment of life-threatening lung […]
Genetic susceptibility to neurodevelopmental conditions such as schizophrenia, autism, and ADHD can be linked, in part, to distinct epigenetic signatures in newborn cord blood. An analysis of nearly 6,000 newborns published in Biological Psychiatry revealed […]
Mice pups conceived with in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the lab have slightly increased rates of DNA errors, or mutations, compared to pups conceived naturally, a new study on artificial reproductive technologies suggests.This article was […]
Researchers have identified that the precisely timed transcription of two genes named grim and reaper is responsible for the targeted death of neurons within the developing nervous system of female flies. This group of neurons […]
Scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School have developed a targeted genetic test to improve diagnosis for X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP), a rare and disabling movement disorder that affects primarily men of Filipino […]
