For the first time, an international study has deciphered the genome of the population of Brazil. Published in the journal Science, the research includes the African, Native American, and European ancestries making up this population, […]
In a historic medical breakthrough, a child diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder has been successfully treated with a customized CRISPR gene editing therapy by a team at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Penn […]
To help neurologists, clinicians and families understand the current evidence for a new gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy called delandistrogene moxeparvovec, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) has issued an Evidence in Focus article […]
A new study suggests that people who are at risk for rare genetic forms of frontotemporal dementia should consider being tested for a common gene variant that can protect them against the group of disorders.This […]
Cells have a trick called splicing. They can cut a gene’s message into pieces and decide which fragments to keep. By mixing and matching these fragments, a single gene can produce many different proteins, giving […]
QIMR Berghofer researchers have found the genes linked to obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time, after identifying 30 regions in the human genome associated with this debilitating yet often misunderstood mental health condition.This […]
The adoption of 5G wireless technology has raised concerns about the health effects of the associated electromagnetic exposure, but a new study published in PNAS Nexus claims 5G wireless is safe.This article was originally published […]
The results of an international study led by researchers from Queen Mary University of London’s Precision Healthcare University Research Institute (PHURI) shed new light on the underlying biological mechanisms which cause differences in health risks, […]
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have uncovered a key molecular player that is involved in lung repair and in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, a common and severe class of adult […]
For neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, treatment options are scant. New research by Stanford scientists illuminates a promising target for treatment—increasing a lipid that boosts the trash-sorting functions of cells.This article was originally […]
