Researchers have identified specific proteins that drive the development of cancer stem cells. They report targeting and suppressing galectin1, in addition to radiation therapy, could be an effective treatment for glioblastoma brain cancer.
A new study is set to discover precisely which aspects of social behavior androgens regulate and how they do it.
People are less averse to the use of CRISPR gene editing in agriculture if the technology is used to promote disease resistance in animals. However, people tend to dislike the use of CRISPR when it comes to new breeding methods.
CRISPR gene-editing technology allowed researchers to pinpoint specific neurons and mechanisms related to the effects of oxidative stress in the brain.
PLCG2-P522R, a genetic variant that protects against Alzheimer's disease, enhances key functions of immune cells.
Study reveals how a neuropeptide called Big Dynorphin binds to the acid-sensing ion channel receptor, causing pain signals to be sent around the body.
Study identifies a short gene segment crucial for brain development and information processing. The absence of the gene segment induces altered social behaviors, learning difficulties, and memory deficits, which are hallmarks of a subset of ASD.
Findings may provide clues that may help researchers develop new techniques to regenerate hair cells in the inner ear and reverse hearing loss.
Study reveals how a protein that transports essential amino acids across the placenta plays a role in fetal development. Deficiencies of the SNAT4 protein may result in developmental abnormalities and a higher risk of miscarriage.
The ability to select specific traits, such as height or IQ, brought about by multiple genes is more complicated than most people realize.
Using CRISPR to alter the expression of four schizophrenia implicated genes which harbor expression quantitative trait loci, researchers were able to mirror gene expression changes seen in postmortem brains of those suffering from three mental health disorders.
The human development 'clock in a dish' opens up new avenues for research and provides a way to replicate developmental disorders.
