How we smell is not just a matter of taste—it’s also influenced by our genes. An international team of researchers led by scientists from Leipzig University has conducted the largest genetic study to date on […]
For nearly three decades, Mayo Clinic researcher Christopher Evans, Ph.D., has pushed to expand gene therapy beyond its original scope of fixing rare, single-gene defects. That has meant systematically advancing the field through laboratory experiments, […]
A new genetic study has identified neurological mechanisms as key drivers of chronic cough. The findings significantly advance our biological understanding of the condition, shedding light on potential avenues for new treatments.This article was originally […]
A multi-institutional team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has constructed a proteomic atlas of human aging across 13 organs, revealing tissue-specific aging clocks, transcriptome-proteome decoupling, and secreted proteins that may accelerate systemic decline.This […]
Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto researchers are reporting that targeted RNA sequencing can detect clinically actionable alterations in 87% of tumors and provide decisive findings where DNA-seq either fails, returns no variant, or is […]
Reliable and gentler control of cellular activity with light: Researchers at the Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) and the Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Optogenetic Therapies (EKFZ OT) of the University Medical Center Göttingen […]
The largest genetic analysis of stuttering has demonstrated a clear genetic basis for the speech disorder, highlighting neurological pathways of risk. The study, published July 28 in the journal Nature Genetics, used data representing more […]
Melbourne scientists are teasing out how the “Hippo pathway” works at the molecular level, improving understanding of how it exerts control and its potential as a much-needed treatment for the deadly cancer mesothelioma.This article was […]
Researchers at the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health found that certain kinds of long-lasting chemicals firefighters are exposed to may affect the activity of genes linked to cancer and […]
A study evaluating a pioneering lentivirus (LV)-mediated gene therapy trial for classical Fabry disease showed promising results over five years, indicating a potential breakthrough in treatment for the genetic disorder.This article was originally published on […]
