Hepatitis C virus (HCV) hijacks the host’s fat metabolism for its own survival, growth, and transport in the human body. A study published on April 28th in PLOS Pathogens identifies a host gene involved in […]
Randomized trials and meta-analyses have established surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy in the multidisciplinary treatment of gastric cancer. However, personalized prediction of both therapeutic resistance and recurrence or metastatic disease progression still remains a […]
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing has recently become indispensable in diagnostic testing and screening. In the prenatal setting, this type of testing is often called noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT). With a number of techniques, using either […]
If a woman’s female relatives have fraternal twins, she is more likely to give birth to twins herself, but the genes behind this phenomenon have remained a mystery. Now, researchers reporting April 28 in the […]
Scientists have announced a major breakthrough in their understanding of how the fungus Aspergillus terreus – the cause of serious illness in humans – can move around the body, rather than remaining in the lungs […]
Schizophrenia is not a single disease, say researchers who have uncovered four key genetic changes that explain four previously unknown conditions. Genetic discoveries are challenging the concept of a single definition for schizophrenia. The research, […]
Usher syndrome (USH) is characterized by hearing loss or deafness at birth and progressive vision loss, and is the most common cause of inherited dual sensory deficit. No treatment is currently available to stop or […]
Call it personalized medicine for depression — but the prescription in this case is exercise, which University of Florida Health researchers have found helps people with certain genetic traits. A UF study has found that […]
Many bacterial transcription factors do not behave as per the textbook operon model. We draw on whole genome work, as well as reported diversity across different bacteria, to argue that transcription factors may have evolved […]
Researchers at University of Montreal have created a programmable DNA thermometer that is 20,000x smaller than a human hair. This scientific advance reported this week in the journal Nano Letters may significantly aid our understanding […]
