Human egg cells are often prone to chromosomal errors. As women age, the error rate increases sharply—and can contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss, and genetic disorders. Yet why this sudden rise happens remains unknown.This article […]
A new genomic method has enabled multiple people with rare conditions to receive diagnoses that were previously unattainable by identifying complex structural genetic changes that are often missed by standard tests.This article was originally published […]
Targeting a specialized group of histones is safe and opens new therapeutic opportunities for treating blood cancers. This is the main finding of the latest research by Dr. Marcus Buschbeck and Dr. René Winkler, researchers […]
A Northwestern Medicine-led study has identified mutations in the gene CEP76 as a new cause of ciliopathies, shedding light on a complex group of disorders that affect multiple body systems, according to a study published […]
Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have discovered how a small, naturally occurring RNA molecule in the kidney activates a mutated immune receptor, triggering a chain reaction.This article was […]
A naturally occurring gene called Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), which turns off after birth in humans, can actually make new, functioning heart cells and help the heart repair itself from injury, including a heart attack or […]
Two small changes in human DNA may have played a big role in helping our ancestors walk upright, researchers say.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a leading cause of heart failure, is twice as common in Black individuals as in white individuals. This excess risk is not fully explained by known risk factors such as high blood […]
Researchers have revealed a novel mechanism by which the chromatin remodeler brahma-related gene 1 (Brg1) regulates Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in allergic lung inflammation. Brg1 exacerbates allergic lung inflammation by regulating the chromatin […]
Up to 60% of congenital and early-onset hearing loss is caused by genetic mutations in an inherited gene, and gene therapy has recently emerged as a potential treatment option. To provide a standardized framework for […]
