The possibility of editing our genes once seemed more like science fiction than reality. Times have changed with the ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor ...

Estrogen generated in the brain may play a role in regulating appetite, potentially opening new avenues for treating obesity.

This study identifies 53BP1 as an interaction partner of GMCL1 (a likely CUL3 substrate receptor). The study seeks to link this finding to regulation of the mitotic surveillance pathway and paclitaxel ...

Findings of University of Chicago cancer centre research led by China-born biochemist Yang Kaiting have been published in ...

They found that mice lacking the cystathionine γ-lyase enzyme experienced the most significant weight loss, nearly 31%, on ...

The lack of animal models that mimic human disease impedes the study of many pathologies that still lack treatment beyond symptom relief. This is what has happened so far with PURA syndrome, a rare ...

As researchers work to improve treatment of Alzheimer's disease, new research by UCLA Health identified a candidate drug that ...

A team of scientists at Duke University made a mouse just a bit more human. They didn’t give it speech or opposable thumbs.

Viral-mediated Oct4 overexpression induces direct conversion of wildtype mammalian Müller glia to bipolar neurons, and this process is synergistically enhanced by loss of Notch signaling.

As researchers work to improve treatment of Alzheimer's disease, new research by UCLA Health identified a candidate drug that reduces levels of a toxic form of a protein in the brain caused by the ...
