In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define ...

A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene "silencer" that resides in junk DNA is directly sparing people from a devastating ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

This study identifies 47,350 enhancers active in human neurons during differentiation and links some to genes involved in ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease ...

What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

A new blood test has an 80% accuracy in predicting preterm preeclampsia, according to a new study. The condition, which results in over 70,000 maternal deaths and 500,000 fetal deaths each year ...

This important study identifies a new key factor in orchestrating the process of glial wrapping of axons in Drosophila wandering larvae. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is convincing ...
