In a newly published study, Yale researchers detail a genetic mutation associated with congenital heart disease that disrupts a key signaling mechanism and leads to…
Researchers from the University of Nottingham have shown that in some organisms the genetic switches that control DNA replication are unnecessary and that cells will…
By targeting mitochondria with the anticancer drug cisplatin, chemists have developed a new way to kill cancer cells that have shown resistance to cisplatin. Cisplatin…
For the first time, scientists have fundamentally changed the genetic code of an organism, raising the possibility that researchers might be able to retool nature…
Using adipose stem cells from human liposuction aspirates, scientists have developed a fast, efficient way to turn cells extracted from routine liposuction into liver cells….
In a new study, researchers identified the agents that could be responsible for many leukemias without TET2 mutation. This finding could help doctors develop a…
Researchers have identified a RAS-regulated pathway that initiates and maintains the epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes in mice, a finding that may help provide…
A new analysis of little-explored regions of the human genome has revealed dozens of cancer triggers. A massive data analysis of natural genetic variants in…
In a newly published study, University of Rochester researchers show that better-constructed proteins are the key to the naked mole rat’s longevity and health. Naked…
In two newly published studies, researchers show how mitochondria play a key role in the body’s ability to control weight gain. Becoming obese or remaining…
In a newly published study, Yale University geneticists report that three factors — Nanog, Pou5f1 (or Oct4) and SoxB1 — are indeed needed to push…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute have discovered a microbe that is rejuvenated every time it reproduces. While aging remains an inevitable fact of life,…
A newly published study shows that the basic building blocks of life as we know it can be assembled anywhere in the Solar System, confirming…
By using a new method, which modified an established approach to generate so-called neuroectoderm, scientists were able to grow human brain tissue in a three-dimensional…
In a newly published study, researchers tested the effects of reducing ether lipids on human skin cancer cells and primary breast tumors, finding that inactivating…
Scientists solve a biological mystery about the common genesis of many serious diseases, discovering a trigger to important biologic responses such as the control of…
