An autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, called autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIHT), is the most common autoimmune disease, yet it remains largely understudied. New research from scientists ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Higher genetic risk for inflammatory bowel disease is linked to more severe disease and increased risks for hospital stays and earlier need for advanced treatments.

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

In “What We Inherit,” Sam Trejo and Daphne O. Martschenko examine the link between genetic myths and social genomics.

City lights are reshaping ecosystems on the coast by separating nearly identical sea species based on brightness rather than ...

Severe infections requiring hospitalization are associated with a markedly increased long-term IBD risk, with immune-related ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

Researchers have found that the severity of autism symptoms, rather than the diagnosis itself, is linked to patterns of brain connectivity associated with genes connected to autism and ADHD.

Pasca Lab specializes in growing three-dimensional organoid models from reprogrammed stem cells, which capture molecular changes during fetal brain-like development. Because the human brain cannot be ...

Recent research suggests genes play a bigger role in longevity than previously thought. But your lifestyle choices still matter a huge amount.

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA ...
