Scientists at UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley and UCLA have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to jointly launch […]
Scientists discover new genetic disease that causes abnormal brain development in children
Scientists have discovered a new genetic disease, which causes some children's brains to develop abnormally, resulting in delayed intellectual development […]
YAP inhibitors could facilitate targeted treatment of basal-like breast cancer
Targeted treatment of basal-like breast cancer could be facilitated by YAP inhibitors in the future. As reported by an MDC […]
Researchers identify a genetic defect that increases the risk of debilitating eye disease
A genetic defect could hold the key to preventing or delaying the onset of a debilitating eye disease that can […]
Uninherited genetic mutations can cause spina bifida
Genetic mutations which occur naturally during the earliest stages of an embryo's development can cause the severe birth defect spina […]
GLS1 inhibitor selectively eliminates senescent cells, ameliorates age-associated disorders
Senescent cells accumulate in organs during aging, promote tissue dysfunction, and cause numerous aging-related diseases like cancer. The cells arise […]
Multiple Sclerosis Causes
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease caused by damage to the nerve fibres in the central nervous system. This damage […]
Gene biomarkers indicate liver toxicity quickly and accurately
When agrochemical and pharmaceutical companies develop new products, they must test extensively for potential toxicity before obtaining regulatory approval. This […]
Risk gene for Alzheimer’s has early effects on the brain
A genetic predisposition to late-onset Alzheimer’s disease affects how the brains of young adults cope with certain memory tasks. Researchers […]
Rare mutation of TP53 gene leaves people at higher risk for multiple cancers
Rare inherited mutations in the body’s master regulator of the DNA repair system—the TP53 gene—can leave people at a higher […]
