Every second, millions of blood cells are produced in the human body, and about 90% of the cells replaced daily are blood ...

Mutations in a gene associated with Crohn's disease have been found to rob critical immune cells of their ability to switch ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important ...

Rare genetic disorders are typically caused by a variant in a single gene. It is estimated that there are over 7000 such conditions, meaning that although individually rare, they are collectively ...

Two new studies have outlined major new findings in Parkinson's disease genetics. New research reported in the journal Brain has shown that genetic factors could be a far more significant influence on ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

The team also points to how its finding could help some rare genetic disorders such as Hemansky-Pudlak syndrome, which can cause issues with blood clotting, vision problems, albinism and more. “We’re ...

A new study shows, for the first time, that cow cells can naturally become immortal—continuing to divide indefinitely without genetic modification or any abnormal transformation. This overturns ...

Rutgers Health researchers have discovered that brain immune cells from people with a high genetic risk for alcohol use ...
