A common but often undiagnosed genetic condition may be causing delays in type 2 diabetes diagnoses and increasing the risk of serious complications for thousands of Black and South Asian men in the UK—and potentially […]
Parkinson’s disease causes both movement and cognitive deficits, and for a long time both were thought to be caused by the accumulation of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. But a new Nature Communications […]
A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet, together with colleagues from Linköping University, has uncovered the function of a gene called DIORA1 (FAM167A), previously linked to autoimmune rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus […]
A genetic mutation commonly found in cancer patients may also affect how the human body develops in the womb, according to new research from the University of Dundee.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
A new randomized study finds that a lab test that reads tumor genes can identify which patients with recurrent prostate cancer will benefit from adding hormone therapy to radiation after surgery—the first predictive biomarker in […]
Cornell researchers have contributed to a multi-institutional study of how the nomadic Turkana people of northern Kenya—who have lived for thousands of years in extreme desert conditions—evolved to survive, showing humans’ resilience in even the […]
When a sperm meets an egg, a lot has to go right for an embryo to develop into a complete organism. One critical step of early development is the reorganization of parental DNA to form […]
