The new molecules selectively reduced inflammatory signaling in human immune cells without affecting other immune pathways. Treatment with the molecules also reduced inflammation in mice with the ...
Researchers have been trying to solve the mystery of a rare genetic disorder called spinocerebellar ataxia 4 (SCA4) for many years. The disease causes impairments in movement and balance, and these ...
New research finds that retinal diseases thought to map one-to-one to genetic mutations are more complicated than that.
Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...
Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...
Researchers have released TripletDGC, a publicly available resource that links nearly 10,000 disease-associated genes to the specific cell types they most strongly affect, filling a critical gap in ...
Today's biomedical researchers are relentlessly searching for genes that drive disease, with the goal of creating therapies that target those genes to restore health. When a single gene is the culprit ...
Environmental factors such as lifestyle and the medications you take influence the effects your genes have on your body — and can clarify how diseases develop. When you purchase through links on our ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Daryl Austin is a Utah-based reporter who covers health and wellness. April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, and even though we ...
