For a decade after its discovery, CRISPR gene editing was stuck on the cusp of transforming medicine. Then, in 2023, scientists started using it on sickle-cell disease, and Victoria Gray, a patient ...

Research links variations in the gene GRIN2A to a higher risk of developing schizophrenia and other forms of mental illness. The GRIN2A gene regulates communication between neurons by producing the ...

In a breakthrough study, scientists have discovered that a variant in one gene, GRIN2A, can directly cause mental illness – something previously believed to be the result of several mutations working ...

Frenchies are already adorable, but there’s one pup who is making waves on social media. He looks like a French Bulldog, because he is, but there’s a slight difference he has that most other pups of ...

Tatiana Schlossberg, the youngest granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, recently revealed she was diagnosed with terminal acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to a rare genetic anomaly. In a ...

In 1943, a physicist and a biologist published a paper that confirmed one of the central pillars of Darwin's theory of evolution. The paper, by Max Delbrück of Vanderbilt University and Salvador Luria ...

Roughly a quarter of all cancerous tumors are caused by mutations in the KRAS gene, which fosters cell growth. For more than three decades, scientists believed these mutations were impervious to ...

Scientists have identified mutations in the CPD gene as a key cause of a rare congenital hearing loss, revealing how disruptions in arginine and nitric oxide signaling damage sensory cells in the ear.

The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and often is called the ‘guardian of the genome.’ This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading ...

Scientists have discovered that a “longevity gene” found in people who live beyond 100 can reverse heart aging in models of Progeria, a devastating disease that causes children to age rapidly. By ...

Researchers at the University of Brighton have achieved a global first by creating genetically stable, lab-grown stem cell ...
