For the first time, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers have studied how work, volunteering and leisure activities affect brain health in older adults from diverse backgrounds, while also factoring in a genetic risk factor […]
The largest study to date to analyze millions of both genetic and patient records on the long-term health conditions of later life has identified opportunities for new ways to prevent and treat multiple overlapping conditions.This […]
In a novel theory, scientists at Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute propose a unifying explanation for the molecular chaos driving Alzheimer’s disease. The condition causes widespread disruption of gene behavior, affecting every known neuropathology and […]
In a recent study, Mass General Brigham researchers demonstrated that through low-cost genetic samples that can be obtained from a cheek swab or blood test, they can improve identification of people with COPD in the […]
Researchers have been trying for decades to stop the cells that damage the lung in people with pulmonary fibrosis. Now a team of Columbia and UCSD researchers may have found a clever solution that sidesteps […]
Researchers from the University of Illinois have identified a key process coordinating liver maturation and polyploidization, a state in which cells carry more than two sets of chromosomes. Their findings, published in Genes and Development, […]
An international research team led by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has identified key genetic factors that confer protective effects against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) through a comprehensive genetic analysis of East […]
Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the American Cancer Society, and the rate of new cases continues to rise. Now, researchers at University of California San […]
For decades, scientists have tried to stop cancer by disabling the mutated proteins that are found in tumors. But many cancers manage to overcome this and continue growing. Now, UCSF scientists think they can throw […]
Liposuction and plastic surgery aren’t often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors of nutrition.This […]
