The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying to understand what is so […]
A study led by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown for the first time that a father’s exposure to microplastics (MPs) can trigger metabolic dysfunctions in his offspring. The research, conducted […]
Flinders University researchers have uncovered a biological process that could explain some stillbirths and pave the way for early detection and prevention.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
A new study challenges what’s long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness. Investigators from Mass General Brigham used large public biobanks to determine that genes thought to cause inherited retinal […]
Researchers from Nazarbayev University’s National Laboratory created the first large-scale, high-quality genotyping dataset of healthy Kazakh individuals—a landmark contribution to global population genomics and biomedical research.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the “conversations” between cells inside the body. The tools, called sCCIgen and QuadST, help scientists understand both where […]
Black patients and patients from socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods are dramatically under-represented in genetics clinics—often at rates half or less than those of white patients or individuals from wealthier areas—according to researchers at the Perelman School […]
Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly bombarded with information, and focus depends on its ability to filter out distractions and detect […]
A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA—includes many of the “switches” that control when and how strongly genes are expressed.This article […]
When roundworms stop reproducing, they can still move and function normally but lose their ability to detect certain food odors that once led them to their meals.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
