Treatment introduces an expansion of the scope of gene therapies that might lead to similar treatments for neurodegenerative ...

Researchers developed an experimental method to convert skin cells into eggs, potentially allowing older women and same-sex ...

The lab-generated eggs could be fertilized with sperm, but were riddled with chromosomal abnormalities. Most embryos stopped ...

Maria Branyas Morera lived to the age of 117 with a bit of genetic luck and a healthy diet that included daily yogurts, according to a study published today in Cell Reports Medicine. During her final ...

Living to 117 years and 168 days is no small feat. In fact, it’s extraordinary. Maria Branyas Morera—or M116, as she’s referred to in a groundbreaking study—was the world’s oldest verified living ...

In a preclinical study, UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center scientists have developed a highly targeted gene therapy that ...

Maria Branyas Morera had good genes. But the way she ate, exercised, and lived her life were what allowed her to live to 117.

A genetic test can predict if someone will go on to develop invasive breast cancer after abnormal cells have been found in their breast tissue.

Now, scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and Columbia University Irving Medical Center have uncovered evidence that ALS may be an autoimmune disease. The researchers discovered that ...

The entire rationale behind this multi-pronged screening was the discovery of checkpoints or regulators that are critically involved in inducing suppression in NK cells under these diverse negative ...

Scientists have discovered a way to fertilise eggs made from the genetic material of human skin cells. The findings, researchers said, have “immense therapeutic potential” for people who have no ...

Fungi may have shaped Earth’s landscapes long before plants appeared. By combining rare gene transfers with fossil evidence, researchers have traced fungal origins back nearly a billion years earlier ...
