A scientific team has unlocked a new way to treat serious lung conditions by using specially designed nanoparticles to deliver genetic therapies straight to lung cells....
Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA and creates specific loops...
Researchers have identified a monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-coding gene named bishu-1. It is involved in the thermal responsiveness of cool temperature-sensing neurons by regulating ionotropic receptor expression, thereby...
New research has found that men who carry a common genetic variant are twice as likely to develop dementia in their lifetime compared to women.
Research teams funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types...
As a group, carriers of recessive disorders are slightly less healthy and have a reduced chance of having offspring. This disadvantage is greatest for carriers of...
A research team has developed and safely delivered a personalized gene editing therapy to treat an infant with a life-threatening, incurable genetic disease. The infant, who...
Scientists present current evidence for a new gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy called delandistrogene moxeparvovec.
Mutations in FANCX appear to cause a lethal form of Fanconi anemia, a finding that sheds light on unexplained pregnancy loss and offers new avenues for...
Modern HIV medicine is based on a common genetic mutation. Now, researchers have traced where and when the mutation arose -- and how it protected our...
