A comprehensive genetic investigation led by Dr. Feng Liu at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital has uncovered striking molecular connections between schizophrenia and bone health, identifying 195 shared genetic loci that may explain why psychiatric […]
Scientists from the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Faculty of Science at Charles University, have uncovered a completely new role for the protein Claudin-1 in the […]
A large-scale international study, led by researchers from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University, has uncovered a mechanism that allows breast cancer to send metastases to the brain—a highly […]
Ongoing clinical research at UNC could lead to a first-of-its-kind enzyme replacement therapy for Hunter syndrome, an ultra-rare disorder that causes progressive multisystem disease and neurologic decline.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE-1 in shaping the cancer genome structure and regulation. Retrotransposons are mobile DNA pieces, comprising much of the human genome. […]
Blood cancer is an umbrella term for a variety of diseases that affect the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system. Like most cancers, the cause is usually mutations in the DNA, which are genetic errors […]
Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by Prof. Sagiv Shifman […]
In laboratory models, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that a mother’s circadian rhythms, or internal body clock, can influence the immune system states of her offspring, which can accurately […]
Tanning bed users are known to have a higher risk of skin cancer, but for the first time researchers have found that young indoor tanners undergo genetic changes that can lead to more mutations in […]
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 […]
