A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene "silencer" that resides in junk DNA is directly sparing people from a devastating ...

The root causes of most forms of Alzheimer's disease largely remain a mystery. Now, researchers have revealed a new piece of the puzzle.

A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene ...

A new study draws a line between random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic changes used to measure biological aging ...

Phase I clinical trials are the first step in testing a new treatment or combination of treatments. These trials often ...

This important study demonstrates the potential of synthetic gene circuits to detect and target aberrant RAS activity in cancer cell lines. The circuit design is novel and the evidence supporting the ...

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and ...

The recent silencing of communications from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by the Trump administration is worrisome.

AI creates anti-cancer molecules for proteins that previously could not be targeted pharmacologically by leveraging quantum ...
