In a comprehensive Genomic Press Invited Expert Review, researchers from the University of Haifa have synthesized cutting-edge findings on Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), revealing how this complex ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and reconnected during our evolutionary history. When you purchase through links on our ...

Kanagawa University of Human Services-led researchers found short-term BMI reductions after an eight-to-12-week ...

In tropical climates, lizards are everywhere. It can be a bit wild to see, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They seem a tad superfluous in such large varieties leaving one to wonder, what ...

An illustration of the genetic and expression map of the PWS critical region (15q11-q13). This figure illustrates the genomic structure of the PWS critical region on chromosome 15, showing the ...

MILAN — Is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) progression primarily driven by genetic mutations or by external cues from the tumor microenvironment? Despite major strides in targeted therapies, CLL ...

Advances in modern medicine allow us to treat fetuses and newborn babies for genetic or inherited diseases. Advances in modern medicine allow us to treat fetuses and newborn babies for genetic or ...

Despite advances, whole genome sequencing — and with it the promise of early, life-altering therapies — still isn’t a routine part of care for most newborns. Many babies enter the world with silent ...
