The study, published in Nature Communications, used family studies and genetically engineered mice to understand how gene ...

In 1986, the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl released large amounts of ionizing radiation (IR) into the environment, and became one of the most serious ...

Since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, something has concerned scientists: can exposure to radiation leave marks in someone’s DNA that are passed on to ...

Pasca Lab specializes in growing three-dimensional organoid models from reprogrammed stem cells, which capture molecular changes during fetal brain-like development. Because the human brain cannot be ...

A Nebraska nurse practitioner says a free genetic research study likely saved her life after she learned she carries a BRCA2 gene mutation, despite having little family history of cancer.

KLF5 appears to fuel pancreatic cancer metastasis by reprogramming epigenetic controls, offering a potential new therapeutic target.

There are about 80,000 new cases of bladder cancer every year in the US alone. About one-third of cases are diagnosed at late stages when the disease is hard to treat. Scientists have now learned more ...

They found an average of 2.65 clustered de novo mutations (cDNMs) per child, compared to 0.88 cDNMs in children of unexposed ...

Scientists have identified a genetic mutation in a gene called SHLP2, which encodes for a microprotein in mitochondria, and can reduce a carrier's likelihood of developing Parkinson's disease by 50 ...

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...
