Last Friday, an FDA advisory panel voted unanimously against recommending the Alzheimer’s drug aducanumab. Based on evidence from two clinical trials, they found that the data did not show that the ...

Epigenetics plays a critical role in human health by regulating gene expression without the direct modification of DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications mediated by changes in DNA and ...

Just when you thought you understood genetics, researchers have shown up with a new term that sounds sort of like the old term but isn’t. Meet epigenetics—the non-DNA way things are inherited. Though ...

Discreetly cloistered in a 19th-century hôtel particulier on Paris’s Champs-Élysées, the Biologique Recherche store displays its creams under bell jars like rare specimens in a laboratory. Which is ...
