The DNA damage from ionizing radiation (IR) erupting from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 is showing up in the ...

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized ...

In a major advance, researchers have successfully corrected genetic mutations in neurons with a single injection into the brains of a mouse model. This technique did not completely reverse the disease ...

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

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 ...

UCLA researchers use lipid nanoparticles to insert full CFTR gene into airway cells, restoring function and opening new ...

People often remark that allergies run in their family, but the genetic causes have remained unclear. Previous food allergy ...

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

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 ...

Nearly four decades after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, scientists have identified subtle genetic mutation clusters in the ...
