Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine and eight other institutions in the United States, Africa and Europe say they have identified a potential new gene target that could be edited to treat sickle cell disease, an […]
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have demonstrated that a genetic method called “pooled prime editing” can screen hundreds of variants in a gene at once and identify which variants affect the gene’s function.This article […]
After every meal, the intestines perform an action called peristalsis—moving food through their hollow interiors with coordinated contractions and relaxations of the smooth muscle.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
A new study in the journal Human Gene Therapy indicates that DNA impurities derived from plasmid and host cell DNA are encapsulated into recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) capsids as single-stranded DNA.This article was originally published […]
A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene. Researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council […]
Genetic information collected through research studies like Geisinger’s MyCode Community Health Initiative can provide important—and previously unknown—information to participants about their risk for disease.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Researchers from Northwestern University have stumbled upon a previously unobserved function of a protein found in the cell nuclei of all flora and fauna. In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, […]
Affecting 1 in 500 people, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the walls of the left ventricle, the heart’s main pumping chamber, become abnormally thick. “HCM is one of the primary causes of sudden […]
A study led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego sheds new light on how a type of heart valve disease, called aortic valve stenosis, progresses differently in males and females. The research […]
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 […]
