A team of cancer genomics scientists from The University of Manchester and The Institute of Cancer Research, London, forensically examined the genetic make-up of tumors in 16 different cancers. Their findings, which have been published in Nature Geneti…

An international research collaboration led by Queen Mary University of London and University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa has published the most comprehensive genomic investigation of kidney function ever conducted in African population…

A landmark research paper for the first time maps the genetics of how individual regions of the brain age—and why some of those regions are the very ones most ravaged by Alzheimer’s and dementia. Published in the journal GeroScience, the paper is title…

Some viruses that make us sick are cleared by the immune system within days, while others lurk in our bodies for a lifetime and reemerge later to cause new problems. How and why viral levels in the body change over time—and the health impacts of these …

Despite a host of checks and balances that usually prevent harmful genetic mutations, sometimes mistakes happen, with serious consequences. Now, researchers from Japan elucidate how a common mutation underlying a common childhood cancer also makes it h…

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and colleagues throughout the world have been mapping the mole…

Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators have defined a new genetic disease marked by premature aging and deficits in brain function. The researchers have published results in Nature Co…

When a person with cancer finds out they carry an inherited genetic variant that puts them at higher risk of cancer, the results can help inform their treatment or steps to prevent additional cancer.

More than 50 years after Agent Orange was used in Vietnam, a new national study published in Blood Advances highlights the genetic changes that link exposure to Agent Orange to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a group of bone marrow cancers that can pr…

Chinese researchers have developed a novel and highly efficient mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy, achieving the safe and efficient transplantation of healthy mitochondria into cells and tissues for the first time. This new therapy can sign…
