Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

An integrin mutation impairs skin T cell migration, enabling HPV proliferation that causes warts and lesions in a rare genetic dermatological condition.

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most ...

UD developmental biologist studies genetics of jaw joint disorder with NIH funding ...

CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's ...

In a controversial step that raises the possibility of a new kind of infertility treatment, scientists report that they have produced functional human eggs in the lab that were able to be fertilized ...
