A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors ...
A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...
A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.
Unique mutations in the H5N1 strain enhance replication in human cells and cause severe disease in mice. The virus has spread from birds to mammals, including dairy cows, and infected humans, with one ...
A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that ...
(via SciShow) There are a lot of places, conditions, and situations that just don't seem all that survivable for most people. But for certain populations of humans, conditions that would be fatal for ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
Explore the new AI model that links genetic mutations to disease outcomes, revolutionising genetic diagnosis and treatment.
A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...
Human eggs appear to be protected against a certain type of age-related mutation. In a small study, researchers found no signs that mutations accumulate in the mitochondrial DNA of human egg cells as ...
