Being invited to present research at an international academic conference is an honor for any seasoned professional. But for ...

Scientists at Gladstone Institutes have flipped the traditional approach to finding potential treatments for deadly diseases.

A woman in her late 20s presented with a 5-year history of progressive fatigue and generalised weakness. Examination revealed signs of premature ageing, anaemia, neuropathy and hepatosplenomegaly.

Pasca Lab specializes in growing three-dimensional organoid models from reprogrammed stem cells, which capture molecular changes during fetal brain-like development. Because the human brain cannot be ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

Will consider data that includes "the experience of individuals," FDA commissioner says ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

RNA therapeutics target translation rather than DNA, aiming to correct shared protein production errors. By enabling cells to read through premature stop codons, engineered tRNAs could restore ...

People often remark that allergies run in their family, but the genetic causes have remained unclear. Previous food allergy ...

Most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries—a long-standing bias that may limit the accuracy of scientific predictions for people from other populations.

Many an orange cat-affiliated human will vouch for their cat's, let's say, specialness. But now scientists have confirmed that there is, in fact, something unique about ginger-hued domestic felines.
