A positive newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is currently considered a medical emergency. Without early treatment, severe disability or death in infancy are likely. However, research findings from Germany and Australia now show […]
Cell and gene therapies, or CGT, have come a long way since they were first introduced. In the last few decades, both cell therapy—the transplantation of living cells—and gene therapy—the use of genetic material to […]
New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development. The study is published in Nucleic Acids Research and helps explain why […]
Scientists have identified a pattern of gene activity present in some female survivors of childhood abuse that is associated with an elevated risk of depression.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
A major new study has found genetics play a powerful and independent role in endometrial cancer risk—challenging the long-held belief that obesity is the primary driver. The findings could lead to better screening of the […]
Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine’s Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes causally […]
A new study has confirmed that male and female lungs are “wired differently” at the molecular level, providing further evidence supporting sex-inclusive respiratory disease research and treatment. The work is published in The FASEB Journal.This […]
Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice, and its role in brain development. During this time, they learned a great deal about […]
Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) are inherited conditions that affect the body’s connective tissue, which provides strength and support to the skin, joints, and blood vessels. People with EDS are often affected by stretchy skin, loose joints, […]
In a lab-grown cell study focused on potential new treatment targets for halting the spread of most pancreatic cancers, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report they have found that a gene called KLF5 (Krueppel-like factor 5) […]
